Score 91/100 · Drink 2014-2019, Robert Parker, Oct 2014

The Burgundian-styled 2012 Chardonnay Star Vineyard exhibits notes of buttered popcorn, white peach, honeysuckle, a hint of oak, and a broad mouthfeel. The finish is long and authoritative. Drink this serious Chardonnay over the next 3-5 years.

Score 88/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2014

(from the Star Vineyard, owned by the Reg Oliver family and farmed by David Abreu): Bright medium straw. Musky aromas of hazelnut and nutmeg, with notes of tropical fruits and white chocolate emerging with air. Broad but a bit diffuse, with primary fruits currently hidden by licorice and brown spices. The slightly aggressive finish shows a faint bitter edge.
