2022 Nightwing Vineyard Chardonnay – 94 Points: Outstanding: a wine of superior character and style
“There’s a pleasing freshness and zip to this lighter-bodied Chardonnay. The nose shows tropical fruit aromas from papaya to pineapple, with a kiss of lemon zest. On the palate, juicy pear and apple fruit dominate, with a lovely orange blossom note and a wash of vibrant acidity.”
2020 Blanc de Blancs – 93 Points: Outstanding: a wine of superior character and style
“This sparkler is a marvelous homage to Blanc de Blanc Champagne. Classic biscuit and toasty brioche aromas from 30 months of lees aging mingle with green apple, tangerine and honeysuckle on the nose. The palate is broad and creamy but bolstered by a razor-sharp lemon-lime acidity.”
2022 Mirabelle Vineyard Chardonnay – 93 Points: Outstanding: a wine of superior character and style
“Sunshine in a glass. The nose of this immaculately balanced Chardonnay incorporates aromas of crème brûlée, honeysuckle and pineapple. The palate is equally bright, with a tropical personality showing zesty citrus and ripe pear flavors. A textural finish brings loads of spice and zippy acid.”
2022 Olivet Lane Chardonnay – 92 Points: Outstanding: a wine of superior character and style
“This lively Chardonnay displays pithy tangerine and bright pear aromas on the nose. The palate shows vanilla and crème brûlée flavors from the barrel regimen, but juicy acidity drives the fruit forward towards a long and lemon-scented finish.”
2022 Sangiacomo Vineyard Chardonnay – 92 Points: Outstanding: a wine of superior character and style
“The nose of this wine comes alive with a gentle swirl, slowly giving off aromas of fresh apple, pie crust and river rock. The palate shows a very gentle touch with the oak, feeling more fresh and lively than rich or weighty. There’s subtlety here that will pair nicely with oysters or other raw shellfish.”
