    "Rich aromatics of melted lemon butter with seared scallops should be enough.The wine's vanilla bean and pineapple aromas are mere bonuses. Even the wine's mouthfeel is creamy and buttery, with flavors of peaches, mango, toasted filberts and just enough acidity to hold it all together."

    "The 2021 Chardonnay is more savory than sweet in the best possible way, as flinty crushed rocks give way to dried peaches and apricots. It soothes with its silken textures and ripe orchard fruits, coming across as seamless as mineral-tinged with juicy acidity adding further contrast toward the close. This tapers off remarkably fresh, buzzing with residual tension and energy as a note of floral-laced peach lingers on. This is a total pleasure to taste."

    "Editor's Choice. Fruit for this wine comes from Evergreen Vineyard. The aromas offer notes of apple, pear, talc, corn husk and French pastry. The palate brings volume and weight while still remaining fleet of foot. It sails on the finish."

    "Editors' Choice. All of the fruit for this wine comes from Evergreen Vineyard. Aged in third-fill barrels and neutral oak with 50% malolactic fermentation, the aromas of apple, pumpkin and talc are plentiful. The palate is bright and fresh, with lemony flavors. It brings texture and tension."

    "A steely undertone to the sliced-apple and lemon character here. Medium body. Hints of vanilla and coconut. Flavorful finish. Drink now."

    "This is a new offering from the winery, with the fruit coming from Evergreen Vineyard. Light aromas of toast, chalk and mineral are followed by sleek apple and pear flavors. Kiwi notes linger on the finish. There's a lovely sense of balance throughout."
