Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: This robust, full-bodied white holds its weight and pedigree remarkably well, offering an intensely flavored, richly layered experience that seamlessly provides freshness along the way. Apple, cinnamon and nutmeg are...
jebdunnuck.com, 95 points: 95+ I was able to taste two Chardonnays from Failla. The 2018 Chardonnay Estate Vineyard comes from an estate vineyard in the Fort Ross-Seaview AVA and spent 11 months in 10% new French oak. This medium gold-hued 2018 has...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The 2018 Chardonnay Cuvée Alyce opens slowly to lovely aromas of warm peaches and apricots with accents of toast, roasted almonds and honey. The medium-bodied palate is silky, super concentrated, layered and fresh, cut...
jebdunnuck.com, 95 points: Just as good, the 2018 Chardonnay Platt Vineyard, from a site in the Sonoma Coast, saw a similar élevage, spending 11 months in 15% new French oak. Rocking white peach, white currants, citrus, and floral notes all emerge...
jamessuckling.com, 92 points: A delicious, bright and fruity white with sliced-apple and honey character. Medium body. Crisp acidity to the lovely fruit. Subtle and clean. Drink now. Screw cap.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: 96+ The 2018 Chardonnay Beresini Vineyard Cuvee Torchiana sashays out of the glass with knockout scents of honey-drizzled white peaches, pineapple upside-down cake, grapefruit and ginger cake with hints of cashews and...
Vinous, 95 points: The 2018 Chardonnay Haynes Vineyard is another stellar wine in this range. Deep and layered in the glass, the Haynes captures a striking interplay of textural richness, savoriness and energy. Lemon confit, sage, dried...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The 2018 Chardonnay Hudson Vineyard was aged for 14 months in French oak barrels, 60% new. It delivers an incredible array of notes—grapefruit, peaches, fresh apples and pineapples with suggestions of ginger ale, allspice...
jamessuckling.com, 96 points: A wonderfully crafted chardonnay with lemon rind, cooked apple, lemon and lemon curd. Mineral and stone character throughout. It’s full-bodied, yet vertical and deep on the palate. Takes you down deep and energizes you...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: The 2018 Sauvignon Blanc Blank Stare was 30% barrel fermented and aged for three months. The total amount of new oak in the blend if 17%. This vintage is a knock-out, giving up exuberant green guava, gooseberries and...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: (94+ points) The 2018 Chardonnay Peugh comes from a vineyard originally planted in 1887 and grafted to Chardonnay in 1944. It was made with 20% new Austrian oak and has bright notions of petrichor, lime peel, green herbs...
jebdunnuck.com, 98 points: Last of the Chardonnay and first made in 1991, the 2018 Chardonnay Richard Dinner Vineyard comes from a vineyard in the Sonoma Mountain AVA and spent 15 months in 53% new French oak. It's certainly the most exotic...
Vinous, 96 points: (94-96 points) One of the early highlights in this range, the 2018 Chardonnay Isobel Charles Heintz Vineyard is wonderfully precise and nuanced. The natural richness of this site comes through, but the 2018 is a bit more...
Decanter, 93 points: Ripe and floral in the warm 2018 vintage. The nose gives off notes of pineapple rind, apple blossom and honeysuckle. The palate is fresh and flashy, with flavours of nectarine, roasted pineapples and ocean breeze. A...
