Burghound, 90 points: (88-90 points) The fresh, ripe and softly exotic aromas are composed by notes of white fruit compote, citrus and spice. There is exceptionally good richness to the thick, even luscious medium-bodied flavors that coat the...
Vinous, 93 points: (91-93 points) (this wine had been racked and returned to fûts; Dauvissat planned to move it into stainless steel in August and bottle it next year): Very pale lemon-yellow color. Reticent but pure scents of minerals and...
Burghound, 89 points: Here the expressive nose is both more elegant and more floral on the aromas of white peach, citrus and pear. The rich, concentrated and succulent medium weight flavors that possess a succulent mouth feel, all wrapped in a...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: (96+Points) This Chardonnay comes from a single Wente selection clone planted on the Estate Vineyard on Los Carneros Avenue. The wine undergoes a very long, gentle pressing before being 100% barrel fermented with native...
jebdunnuck.com, 97 points: Leading off the Chardonnays, the 2016 Chardonnay Ma Douce (which translates to “My Sweet”) is a rich, full-bodied, blockbuster effort that still stays incredibly pure, seamless, and elegant. Heavenly notes of crushed...
jebdunnuck.com, 96 points: As always, the 2016 Chardonnay Horseshoe Vineyard is the most masculine and mineral-driven, with an exotic bouquet of white flowers, iodine, crushed rocks, and stone fruits. Reductive, concentrated, and powerful on the...
jebdunnuck.com, 92 points: The 2016 Chardonnay Uncovered is another rich, medium to full-bodied effort from this team that has ample toast and orchard fruit-like aromas, a fleshy, supple texture, good acidity, and a clean finish. It’s well worth...
Wine Spectator, 90 points: Rich and well-spiced flavors of ripe apple, peach pastry and almond tart feature buttery accents. Hazelnut cream and clove notes linger on the finish. Drink now through 2022. 1,290 cases made. — KM
jebdunnuck.com, 93 points: The 2016 Chardonnay Anderson Valley from the team at Rhys knocks it out of the park, and I suspect it’s a screaming value. White peach, apple blossom, spice, and some white flower notes all flow to a medium-bodied...
Wine Enthusiast, 91 points: This is entirely barrel-fermented and French-oak aged, making for a generous, full-bodied lushness on the palate. Creamy tropical fruit, pear and melon are met by sublime texture and well-integrated oak, finishing in a...
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 94 points: Pale lemon colour. The bouquet is backward. There is a fair amount of spice here, and some cheerful oak. A ripe and fairly exuberant Perrières with good length. The whole package works very well.
