James Suckling
An extremely dense, vibrant and oak-infused wine that is concentrated in citrus, green apple, evergreen and oak spice flavors. It's full-bodied, earthy, leesy, toasted and nutty on the palate. Saline and spice elements compete with ripe fruits for attention. Drink or hold.

Vinous
The 2023 Chardonnay North Slope Vineyard, clones 95 and 76, is terrific. Ample and creamy, the 2023 is one of the more complete wines in this range. Orange peel, mint, lemon oil, hazelnut and a kiss of French oak all build, leading to the rounded, layered finish.
