Score 85/100 · Drink 2018-2019, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Jun 2018
The 2016 Chardonnay offers up a musky, Viognier-like nose of citrus blossom, lychee, apricot and baked peaches. On the palate, it's fat, rich and flabby, with a saline, perfumed finish.

The 2016 Chardonnay from winemaker Josh McDaniels comes all from the Kenny Hill Vineyard in the Walla Walla Valley. Aged in 35% new French oak (15% was brought up in concrete), it offers a ripe, tropical bouquet of white peach, citrus blossom, honeysuckle, and hints of pineapple. With a medium-bodied, supple, rounded texture, good acidity, and excellent purity of fruit, it's going to drink nicely for a couple of years.
