Score 92/100 · Drink 2025-2035, Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate, Sep 2025
The 2023 Chardonnay Hawk Hill Vineyard is delicately styled, with restrained alcohol (just over 12%) and high, vibrant acidity. It has delicate aromas of saline, white peach, poached pears, lemon peel and flint. The light-bodied palate features bright citrus and beeswax flavors. Its acidity is foiled by a softly creamy texture, and it has a long, layered finish.

The 2023 Chardonnay Hawk Hill Vineyard is terrific. Bright and sculpted in the glass, the 2023 presents an exotic mix of citrus, slate, crushed rocks and dried herbs. This finely cut Chardonnay captures all the energy of this windy, late-ripening hillside site in Freestone.
