Critic tasting note: (2002 vintage) "At close to 14 years of age, which is ancient for most California Chardonnay wines, this tasted years younger than its actual age. With vibrant citrus flavors, minerality, lemon peel and hints of vanilla, along with refreshing acidity, polish and length, it's a perfect ringer in a flight of white Burgundy. 97 Points" - Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
