Wine Advocate | Rating: 99
The 2015 Chardonnay Cuvee Indigene is profoundly scented of honeyed apricots, pear tart, marzipan and brioche with hints of butterscotch, praline and baker's yeast. The fine, fresh, medium-bodied palate has beautiful elegance and depth, with a minerally core and a citrus lift on the very long, creamy finish. Stunning. 545 cases were made.Drink Dates: 2017 - 2031Author: Lisa Perrotti-BrownIssue: 233Wine Spectator | Rating: 90
Young and pithy, this white is backward and tannic, yet the core flavors are on point for a promising future, with citrus green apple and melon flavors that are raw and edgy. Give it some time. Best from 2019 through 2024. 545 cases made.Drink Dates: 2019-2024Author: James LaubeIssue: Web Only - 2018Vinous | Rating: 94
The 2015 Chardonnay Cuvée Indigène is wonderfully lifted and nuanced, with striking interplay of floral notes, creamy stone fruit and mint. Like all of these wines, the Cuvée Indigène is fresh, vibrant and nuanced, but there is plenty of power and depth underpinning the fruit.Drink Dates: 2020 - 2027Author: Antonio GalloniIssue: Jul 2018

California is the heartland of wine production in the US, and the state that brought prestige to American wine thanks to the pioneers who built early wineries like Staglin, Beringer, Ridge, Mayacamas and Chateau Montelena in the 1800s. Its large geographic area ensures a great diversity in growing sites, varieties grown, and quality levels. Generalizations about the state's wines have numerous exceptions; however, a few key facts generally hold true—ample sunshine, dry weather during the growing season, and moderate winters prevail. Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon continue to dominate the state's production—albeit in continually smaller percentages, as growers continue to diversify. More than 100 different varieties can be found throughout the state.
