James Halliday, 98 points: 55% machine-picked at night, 45% hand-picked, 64% cultured yeast, 36% wild yeast, fermented in and matured for 11 months in new French oak. It is supremely elegant and finely balanced, and has absorbed the new oak in a...
Wine Enthusiast, 91 points: Fully revealing in brioche and preserved lemon, this wine shows a boldness of oak and body alongside an exuberance of ripe, tropical fruit that's lengthy and complex. This is classically Napa Valley in its luxuriousness...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: In the same voluptous, blockbuster style as the Acin, the 2013 Chardonnay Hapgood is another knockout Chardonnay from this team. Butter apples, honeysuckle, cream and crushed rock all flow beautifully to a full-bodied...
View From The Cellar, 94 points: 94+ Happily, the 2013 Corton-Charlemagne was still open after its mise and was showing very well indeed at the time of my visit, offering up a deep and very esthery nose of apple, pear, bee pollen, a potpourri of spring...
Burghound, 90 points: An attractively layered nose is composed mostly of ripe fruit compote, citrus zest and lavender nuances. There is an equally attractive mouth feel to the delicious, precise and energetic medium weight flavors that possess...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The 2013 Chardonnay Clare comes 100% from the Hyde Vineyard and represents a 22-year-old Wente clone of Chardonnay. This wine displays more buttery brioche notes, hints of tangerine oil and lemon blossom, a subtle...
Wine Spectator, 93 points: An expansive style, with lively acidity. Plump, ripe and buttery, this coats the palate with a rich array of fig, melon and tropical tangerine flavors, adding a floral, jasmine scent, enlivened by a nervy edge of...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: DuMol produces five separate Chardonnays, with their generic cuvée, the 2013 Chardonnay Russian River basically a blend of some terrific terroirs including their own estate vineyard as well as three highly regarded single...
Burghound, 92 points: (BH89-92 points) A hint of sulfur does not materially detract from the ripe and fresh nose that is comprised by notes of apple, acacia blossom and pear scents. There is a lovely underlying tension to the well-detailed and...
View From The Cellar, 91 points: (JG90-91 points) The 2013 Enseignères was one of the last wines in the cellar to finish its malo this year, so this wine was bottled in early March of 2015. The wine is excellent, but still just a touch out of sorts from...
jamessuckling.com, 95 points: Aromas of white peaches, lemons and gunpowder. Full body, very tight and focused. Its broad palate closes to a tight fruit finish. Fantastic wine.
Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 93 points: (ST91-93 points) Pale, bright yellow. Aromas of lime, mint and minerals, lifted by a topnote of white flowers. Sweeter and more open-knit than the Charmes but still with excellent acidity and firm underlying structure...
Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 95 points: (ST92-95 points) (production here was just 22 hectoliters per hectare, according to Didier Seguier): Pale, green-tinged yellow. Lemon, lime, white pepper, menthol, botanical herbs and powdered stone on the enticing nose...

Besides a great web site and set of videos that provide a good narrative and insights into the "personality" of the company, the pricing was very competitive (meeting or beating the usual sites I frequent in CA).
