Wine Enthusiast
Vibrant fruit flavors fill out a creamy texture in this super well-balanced wine, offering toast, pineapple and butter aromas, then poached pear, lemon zest and almond croissant flavors on the palate. The combination of lively acidity and generous flavors is quite compelling. Best 2025–2032. Cellar Selection

Wine Spectator
Packs precise flavors of ripe peach, apricot and salted preserved lemon, with lime accents and a savory thread of minerality. Offers a vibrant mouthful of acidity that keeps the flavors in focus, while a hint of dried lemon verbena peeks in on the finish.

Decanter
This Chardonnay comes from the winery's estate, Camp Meeting Ridge vineyard, around 457 metres, approximately 3.21 km from the Pacific Ocean. Recommended decanting to get the most out of this tight-knit, beautifully structured Chardonnay. Leads with pops of salty-fresh sea spray, white flowers, grapefruit zest, lemon peel and lime zest capped off by fragrant herbs. Medium-bodied with an unctuous palate feel, refreshing zesty crunchy minerals abound, overtaken by green apple and pear, then turning to lemon-apricot, all framed by a deep mid-palate salinity of crushed seashells, with a long, satisfying finish marked by white flowers and almonds. A dazzling white capable of long-term cellaring.

Wine & Spirits
Balanced in its sweet ripeness, this golden-toned chardonnay has some Mandarin orange richness to the fruit and firm, lasting spice. “It’s brassy,” said NYC sommelier Chris Dooley, “as if Ethel Merman were a wine.”
