2016 Soberanes Vineyard Chardonnay - Library Wine
Santa Lucia Highlands Appellation
November 2017
93 points, Jeb Dunnuck
"The 2016 Chardonnay Soberanes Vineyard is from a site that was planted in 2008 and was brought up one-third new French oak. Orchard fruits, toasted bread, and caramelized citrus, medium-bodied, vibrant acidity, and some solid minerality all define this outstanding Chardonnay."
93 points, Antonio Galloni's Vinous
"Limpid straw-gold. Citrus pith, Anjou pear and smoky minerals on the highly perfumed nose, joined by slowly emerging hints of chamomile, saffron and sweet butter. Juicy and sharply focused on the palate, offering intense, mineral-laced citrus and orchard fruit flavors that slowly unfold and deepen while maintaining urgency. Finishes on an emphatic mineral note, showing outstanding persistence and lingering suggestions of honeysuckle and chalky minerality."
93 points, Anthony Dias Blue
"Rich and ripe with sweet oak and bright acidity; generous, lush and nicely balanced; elegant and complete; a lovely, impressive wine made from a famous vineyard in northern Monterey County; dense and long."
