“This has such gorgeous fruit character with dried lemon, pie crust, crushed stone, and hints of sea weed. Spicy, like sea salt. Persistent finish. Drink or hold.” (10/2022)

Wine Advocate
“The 2021 Chardonnay CIX Estate is a more classic example than the 2022 version, but there's a strong familial resemblance. Crushed stone and hints of almond-hazelnut skin appear on the nose, alongside fruitier notes of pineapple and white peach. In the mouth, the wine is full-bodied, generous and rounded, then finishes fresh and vibrant, with a huge whack of energizing lime zest on the finish. (JC)” (07/2024)

Wine Spectator
“Toasted wild fennel, lemon blossom, ginger and litsea oil notes offer complexity and harmony to the bold core of melon, citrus, apple and peach flavors. Shows plenty of momentum on the finish, with a fresh thread of acidity keeping everything in focus. (MW)” (06/2024)
