This corner of the Santa Ynez Valley is not particularly known for Chardonnay, but the grape very much succeeds in this bottling. Aromas of lemon glaze, lime pith and flaky croissant lead from the nose into a tense, chalky palate of apricot, pear and creme fraiche flavors. — Matt Kettmann
A beautiful wine, the 2023 Chardonnay was stored in oak for ten months before bottling. This is rich and viscous stuff with buttercream and shades of poached pear with pineapple notes on the palate. Offering good length, enjoy now and over the next eight years. Drink 2024-2032 92 points — Owen Bargreen
