2014 Chardonnay Wine

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: A very pretty texture to this wine with cream and dried apples in addition to hints of lemons and limes. A medium to full body and soft yet bright acidity. Love this fabulous wine. Don't miss it.

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: This is such a lively white with ripe fruit, mangoes and limes. Then it turns to a salt character. Medium-to full-bodied, racy and intense. Fresh, citrusy finish. Drink now.

Wine Spectator, 90 points: Deftly balanced, if on the weightier side, offering complex toasty, smoky oak and rich nectarine, white peach and citrus flavors, with a pithy citrus texture that gives this a mild tannic impression. Drink now through...

Decanter, 95 points: It was a great pleasure to visit Rajat Parr in Santa Barbara at the beginning of this year and to see some of the extreme sites his team are farming. Since 2011, Raj and his winemaker Sashi Moorman have been producing...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 94 points: The 2014 Chardonnay is one of the most distinctive wines being made in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Graphite, smoke, peach, mint and honey give the 2014 much of its exotic flair. Dramatic in both its flavors and phenolic...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: This vineyard sits above Mate's Vineyard and has a combination of ripeness with vibrant acid-fuelled energy. The nose heads into some quite exotic territory, showing fine limes and lemon zest, floral and perfumed ethereal...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 94 points: The 2014 Chardonnay Old Guard is the most relaxed and open of these wines. Orchard fruit and sweet floral notes are front and center, but it is the wine's crystalline purity and overall finesse that stand out most. In...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 94 points: The 2014 Chardonnay Golden Slope is one of the richer, creamier wines in the range. Orange blossom, crème brulee, apricot jam and buttery notes are fused together. The Golden Slope will appeal most to readers who like...

MW Bob Campbell, 95 points: Single vineyard wine. Quite fleshy with tree fruit, peach, nectarine and yellow-fleshed plum flavours, together with a subtle seasoning of nutty lees and spicy oak character. An initial sense of fruit opulence leads to a...

Burghound, 91 points: (88-91) Moderate wood fights somewhat with the otherwise very fresh aromas of hazelnut, lilac, pear and wet stone nuances. There is an almost delicate mouth feel to the chiseled and precise middle weight flavors that...

Vinous, 90 points: Bright yellow-gold. Spice-tinged aromas of poached pear, nectarine and honey are lent vivacity by a subtle lemon zest nuance. Smooth, supple and fleshy in the mouth, offering pliant orchard and pit fruit flavors that pick...

Wine Spectator, 90 points: A seductive style that captures effusively ripe peach and nectarine flavors. Features a juicy texture that's broad and layered. Despite using no oak, this leaves the impression of spicy, jazzy wood on the lingering...
