Carneros Chardonnay Reviews

Score: 91 | July 4, 2018 | Planet Grape

Creamy, fresh and buttery with notes of apple tart, grilled peach, banana bread and crème brulee.

Score: 92 | June 12, 2018 | Ultimate Wine Challenge

Excellent, Highly Recommended


Orchard notes and buttered toast aromas drive the nose of this chardonnay. Full bodied on the palate with baked pear, pineapple upside down cake, baked coconut, and toasty vanilla flavors that are most prominent in the long, satisfying finish.

Score: Silver, 93 Points | April 6, 2018 | California State Fair
Score: 90 | February 18, 2018 | Wine Enthusiast

Big oak and a touch of reduction show through on the nose of this appellation wine, as full-figured flavors of crème brûlée, pineapple and Gravenstein applesauce play along a gravelly texture. Highlights of nutmeg and ginger spice the fruit well. 

Score: 90 | December 15, 2017 | Wine Spectator

An attractive style, reliant on spicy, toasty oak as well as a zesty core of melon, green apple and white peach, maintaining an elegant mouthfeel throughout.
