Wine Enthusiast 93 A golden hue in the glass, this bottling from Maria Vista Vineyard offers almond, hazelnut, baked apple and butterscotch on the creamy nose. The palate zips with a flashy acidity and intriguing texture that frames the toasted nut, salty coconut and baked apricot flavors. —Matt Kettmann

Hand-picked from Maria Vista Vineyard in Santa Maria Valley. This wine was fermented 50% in stainless steel to retain bright acidity, and 50% in barrel to develop texture and richness. Aged for 10 months in 30% new oak. This Chardonnay offers exceptional depth and volume, with inviting toasty oak tones on the palate. Ripe mango and pineapple are beautifully balanced by vibrant minerality and subtle hints of pastry crust. 92 Owen Bargreen
