Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: I love the lively and energetic profile of the 2014 L'Etoile Cuvée Spéciale, which is a sharper wine than the 2015 but also less developed and fresher. It feels very young and undeveloped, with bright acidity, strong...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: The 2014 Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu was picked on September 16 and 17 and has one of the highest pH at 3.25. The bouquet is well defined with scents of acacia honey and even a little walnut developing with aeration in...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: (91+) The whites tend to spend one winter in topped up foudres and a second one in barriques that are not refilled. The current 2014 L'Etoile is the basic white produced exclusively with Chardonnay and is from a cooler...
jamessuckling.com, 92 points: A fuller style of chardonnay with lots of cooked apple, pear and plenty of cream and lemon undertones. Flavorful and bright. Drink now.
Vinous, 93 points: Pale yellow-green. Wonderfully complex perfume of lime and orange zest and minerals. Then silky and voluptuous in the mouth, a distinct step up in texture and fat from the Mont de Milieu. But this very pure wine is nicely...
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...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The 2014 Chardonnay Edward James Estate delivers butterscotch, beeswax and brioche notes over peach cobbler, pineapple paste and marmite. The full-bodied palate provides powerful flavors, supported by a solid backbone of...
Vinous, 92 points: Green-tinged yellow. Vibrant citrus and orchard fruit and floral aromas show very good clarity and a complementary smoky mineral overtone. Silky, concentrated and focused on the palate, offering intense orange, pear...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: The old vines certainly show well in the 2014 Chardonnay Ritchie, with an almost Alsatian-like petrol nose that is starting to come on. This wine that is full-bodied, with incredible ripeness, purity and overall...
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...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: A little closed, the 2014 Chardonnay Ross Station Estate has pink grapefruit and ripe peach notes with nuances of honeysuckle and baking bread. Full-bodied, rich and toasty in the mouth, it has a pretty silken texture and...
Vinous, 94 points: The 2014 Chardonnay Woolsey Road Vineyard is a powerful, intense wine with real phenolic intensity. This is an especially rich, deep and layered wine with exquisite finesse and pedigree. Readers should be prepared to...
Wine Enthusiast, 91 points: This is a thick, rich and layered white from Oak Knoll District-grown estate fruit. It's inviting, with lemon chiffon, baked pineapple and anise. Medium bodied and not afraid to be robust, wet-stone minerality brings it...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2014 Chardonnay Dutton Ranch is a beauty. Loads of honeysuckle, white currant, peach and tropical notes are all present in this medium to full-bodied, beautifully rich, concentrated Chardonnay that has good acidity...
