Score 95/100 · Jeb Dunnuck, Aug 2022
Coming from the pure shale soils of a site perched 1800 feet above the fog line, the 2020 Chardonnay Peter Martin Ray is more savory and compact, with white mushroom, peach skin, and a slate-like minerality. The palate is rounder and has a more glycerin feel relative to the rest, with pineapple, orange blossom, and beeswax.
