Monique Sosa rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Fresh, floral and whimsy. Delicate notes of orange blossom, white pepper, citrus peel and green apple lead way to a mouthwatering high acidity, voluptuous Chardonnay. The finish is long showing lasting notes of green apple, lime and citrus pith. Enjoy with halibut ceviche. Tasted Jan 2017 - @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca

Heather Wall rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

This is a full-bodied California Chardonnay without the overuse of oak influences. Tropical fruits, banana peel, apple, lemon, toast and vanilla aromas and flavours. Bright acidity and some lingering lemon drop on the finish. Not bad value for California.
Tasted: January 2017

Jane Staples rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A full-bodied Napa Chardonnay with light tropical fruit and toast aromas. The palate gives rich tropical fruit, citrus rind, pineapple, peach and minerality.
