An enticing combination of pink grapefruit, burnt orange and white nectarine mingles with more savory aromas of smoked almonds, hazelnut meringue and the heady fragrance of freshly cut hay. The mealy savoriness carries through onto a rich, textural palate, evidence of this wine’s low-intervention winemaking. An intricate bone-dry style that is highly concentrated with a distinct flintiness, tight structure and crisp citrussy finish.

94 pts - JamesSuckling.com: "This has cleverly curated aromas of peach and grapefruit with flinty,
winemaking complexity and hazelnut-like oak notes. The palate has a smooth, supple and fresh core of ripe-peach and lemon-curd flavors. Concentrated."
93 pts - Vinous: "Rich and flavorsome, this is starting to open up and hit the early stages of its drinking window. Wild-fermented in barrel, of which 20% were new, this offers an array of intriguing aromas from white flower and talc, to flint and smoky bacon. A combination of two clones, Mendoza and 95, it boasts complex layers and an assertive, lengthy finish."
92 pts - Robert Parker Wine Advocate: "Struck flint and hints of sweet corn and toasted grain accent white peaches and ripe pineapple on the nose of the 2016 Chardonnay. It's medium to full-bodied but comes across as fresh and lively, with a crisp, mouthwatering finish."
90 pts - Wine Spectator: "There is a wonderful purity to the peach cobbler, marmalade, candied citrus peel and vanilla pudding flavors, with a fresh thread of acidity weaving in and out, and a spicy note of clove on the finish."
