Acclaim For This Bottle

“The 2018 Chardonnay is very clearly a mountain wine in its structure. Lemon confit, crushed rocks, sage and dried flowers all grace this powerful yet nervous, taut Chardonnay from Mindego Ridge. This is an especially savory, phenolic style. All the elements come together effortlessly. Focused and wonderfully nuanced the 2018 is a winner.” 93 Points -Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Sept 2020
