92 Points James Suckling
Grapefruit pith, flint, roasted almonds and toasted lemons here. It's medium-bodied, flinty and gently toasty with bright acidity and a fresh, tight finish. Sustainable.
91 Points Wine Spectator
Svelte and snappy, with attractive orange peel, pear and honeysuckle tones that linger on the finish.
91 Points Jeb Dunnuck
Layered aromas of ripe orchard fruits, peach, lemon custard, and a light touch of flinty reduction in the 2019 Chardonnay Staking Claim are followed by a supple palate with notes of baked apples, beeswax, and hazelnut. It is a well-balanced and delicious wine with a decadent feel, that cleans up nicely on the finish. Drink 2022-2028
Winemaker Notes
This wine is sleek and elegant, redolent of hibiscus tea, fresh cherry, cinnamon bark, and nutmeg. These aromas are echoed on the palate and framed by finessed, fine-grained tannins.
