MW Bob Campbell, 94 points: Attractive, aromatic chardonnay with stone fruit, citrus and spicy oak flavours. Attractive wine with subtle fruit sweetness and a lingering finish. A stylish wine that achieves remarkable consistency.

Wine Enthusiast, 90 points: Jules Taylor comes through with yet another classy wine, this time in the form of a medium-bodied Pinot Gris with flesh on its bones. Lifted pear, peach and white pepper aromas continue to the palate. Medium-bodied with...
