Awards
Wine Harlots, February 2010 - "...Wine Harlots say once you discovered this extraordinary wine, you have no right to keep it to yourself."
Robert Parker, December 2009 - 87 Points “The 2008 Carneros Chardonnay possesses good flesh along with a buttery, poached pear, and honeyed apple nose, medium body, and admirable acidity. It should drink well for 1-2 years.” Wine Enthusiast, December 2009 - 87 Points “Rich and fruit-forward. Shows ripe flavors of pineapples, pears and apples, enriched with the smoke and buttered toast notes of oak, and the creamy, yeasty edge of lees. Best now for its flamboyance. From the Sangiacomo (83%) and Truchard (17%) vineyards. ” TD Wine, August 2009 - "...Excellent food wine but should stand alone just fine on a warm Summer day..." |
