Review Date: 09/2020The 2018 Chardonnay Mt. Pajaro Vineyard is a powerful, deep wine with a sense of structure that recalls a red wine. A huge core of fruit give the 2018 a feeling of virile intensity. Readers should expect a potent, savory Chardonnay that will surely be at its finest at the dinner table. (AG)

A classic, mineral-laced white from this team, the 2018 Chardonnay Mt. Pajaro Vineyard has a bright gold hue as well as lots of salty, citrus fruits, notes of honeysuckle and white flowers, medium-bodied richness, and a juicy, balanced, elegant texture. It's beautifully done and ideal for drinking over the coming 4-6 years. (JD)

Palest gold. Aromas lean more floral and mineral as notes of white flowers and grapefruit pith suffuse the nose, while the body of the wine is all grapefruit and pomelo. Citrus pith lingers in the finish, with filigreed acidity that gains power as the wine finishes. Mouth-watering to be sure but doesn't quite reach the heights of the Horseshoe bottling. Having said that, this is a truly fine specimen of Chardonnay. 18/20 points (AY)
