“The 2021 Dundee Hills Chardonnay reveals the magic of the Dundee Hills appellation. Approachable, yet sophisticated, the wine shows mineral, lemon-lime, fresh citrus, and notes of struck flint on the nose. Lime and tropical notes dominate the palate, accented beautifully by touches of crushed rock, mango, and lemon zest. Walking that fine line between full yet lean, the wine finishes with a mouthwateringly-long finish.” Kimberly (Kim) Abrahams – Winemaker for Archery Summit
“The medium straw-colored 2021 Chardonnay Dundee Hills Estate is flinty and balanced, opening to aromas of corn kernel, baked apple, lemon balm, and delicately toasted spices. Long on the palate, this medium to full-bodied Chardonnay expands through the palate and gains in intensity all the way through. Ripe, saline, and toasty, with well-managed oak spice and a fresh spine of acidity driving all the way through its impressive finish, it will do well to rest another year or two. Drink 2025-2030.” Jeb Dunnuck 94 points
“This elegant Chardonnay’s European butter, lemon pound cake and toasted hazelnut aromas are guaranteed to trigger hunger pangs. The wine’s lemon custard flavor and texture are equally creamy, with additional flavors of lemon verbena and salty Marcona almonds.” Wine Enthusiast 93 points
“This has ripe tropical fruit with hints of cashews, toffee and dried herbs. Crisp and tangy palate with a medium to full body and juicy lemon pith character in the middle. Balanced and complex with a textured and peachy aftertaste. Drink or hold.” James Suckling 93 points
“Sleek yet richly styled, with generous flavors of pear, orange blossom and lemon that glide on a dynamic finish. Drink now.” Wine Spectator 92 points
“The 2021 Chardonnay Dundee Hills lifts up with a savory blend of yellow apples, wet stones and spring florals. This soothes with its soft textures as saline minerals and crisp orchard fruits cascade throughout. It leaves a lemony concentration and sensation of liquid rock while finishing long and staining. This is beautiful today but with the balance to mature evenly over the next five years of more.” Antonio Galloni Vinous 91 points
