International Wine Cellar | Rating: 91
Full straw-yellow color. Subdued aromas of spices and minerals lifted by a note of lavender sea salt. Densely packed, tactile and chewy, with harmonious acidity intensifying the wine's fruit and giving shape to its smooth umami texture. Sweeter than |regular| Carneros District chardonnay, finishing with subtle, building length.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: May/June 2012Wine Spectator | Rating: 92
Intense and full-bodied, delivering lots of spice, floral and green apple and honey notes. A shade richer than the Carneros bottling, yet also a bit grainier. Drink now through 2018. 372 cases made.Author: James Laube

Bruce and Barbara Neyers developed their Napa winery, centered around the 50-acre Conn Valley Ranch Estate, in 1992. This has been the source for their vineyard-designated Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot programs. Neyers' consultant, Ehren Jordan, has been involved since the beginning. Neyers is also known for reference-point Chardonnay, Syrah and Zinfandel sourced from a variety of established growers, including Tofanelli, Pato, Thieriot and Sangiacomo.
