"The 2021 Diana's Chardonnay is 45% Santa Lucia Highlands AVA. After a little coaxing, the nose erupts with powerful notes of apricots, pineapple upside-down cake, and guava with nuances of candied ginger, beeswax, and cashews. The medium-bodied palate delivers impactful tropical and stone fruit layers with spicy accents and well-knit freshness, finishing long and creamy."
94 points, Antonio Galloni's Vinous
"The 2021 Chardonnay Diana's is a selection of the best barrels across various sites. It offers terrific depth and cut, balancing the textural richness and vibrancy elements found throughout this range. White flowers, pear, tangerine oil, mint and chalk lend notable energy to this mid-weight, wonderfully transparent Chardonnay."

"The 2021 Chardonnay Diana's comes from a mix of sites and was aged in French oak, 70% new. It's another impeccably made white offering classic spiced orchard fruits, classy oak, spice, and chalky minerality. It's beautifully textured, medium to full-bodied, balanced, and has a great finish. It's the easy stand out in the lineup and well worth seeking out."

"The density to this in the center palate is impressive while it remains tensioned and compact with plenty of cooked apple, citrus and light caramel character. Toasted nuts, too. Complex and fascinating. Opens nicely in the glass. A blend of the best chards from Testarossa. Drink or hold."

"Lemon blossom, melon flesh and warm orchard-fruit aromas draw the nose into this lightly buttered bottling that is a cuvée of top barrels from around the Central Coast. The palate packs nectarine and apricot flavors together with honeysuckle and lemon curd, as sharp acidity cuts through the generous core."
