Score 92/100 · Drink 2024-2027, Jeb Dunnuck, Jun 2024
A bright yellow color, the 2022 Chardonnay Carneros is expressive and refined on the nose, with notes of honeyed citrus, tangerine, golden apples, and waxy Marcona almonds. Full-bodied and very appealing on the palate, it casts a wide net, as it retains good freshness and doesn’t feel cloying or heavy. It will drink well over the next few years.

Score 93/100 · James Suckling, Jan 2024
Made from all estate-grown grapes on the Sonoma side of Chardonnay, this lush, ripe and creamy wine is part of a renaissance for one of Sonoma’s 20th-century pioneers. Beautiful pear and juicy apple notes blend with hints of lemon zest, butter and vanilla. Barrel-fermented and beautiful. Drink or hold.
