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, 95 points: Very sexy aromas of apple, wild herbs, spices and soil. Boasts outstanding breadth and sweetness, with lovely savory complexity to the flavors of medicinal herbs, citrus fruits and powdered stone. Really superb tension in...

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...
