Score 89/100 · Drink 2020-2024, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, Mar 2020
The 2017 Chardonnay boasts gently toasted notes of hazelnut brioche and hints of pineapple and white peach on its nose. It's medium-bodied, crisp and refreshing, refined and elegant, without the creamy generosity of many New Zealand Chardonnays but still focused and tight on the lengthy finish even three years after the vintage.

Attractive, fresh, pear, peach and praline aromas lead to a palate that has a succulent and attractively juicy feel ,as well as a fresh line of acidity that holds the finish in tight. Drink now. Screw cap.
