Score 94/100 · Drink 2025-2038, Matthew Luczy, Wine Advocate, Apr 2024

The 2020 Chardonnay Bearwallow Vineyard opens with fresh, radiant aromas of tangerine rind, lemon curd and white blossom. The palate is medium-bodied and immaculate in its balance, weight and lift, showing off a bright but accessible core of acidity through its long, stony finish. As with the Pinot Noir from this site, this offers readers a way to revel in the delightful precision of Rhys's single-vineyard wines without the cellaring required for the Santa Cruz Mountains bottlings.

The 2020 Chardonnay Bearwallow Vineyard is bright, energetic and nicely focused. Lively acids run through a core of citrus and orchard fruit, with expressive floral notes that develop later, adding lift. Medium in body and nicely delineated, the 2020 is a winner. Saline notes underpin the finish. I especially admire the focus here. (AG)
