Score 98/100 · Jeb Dunnuck, Oct 2018
The 2016 Chardonnay Kokoro comes from the Sierra Madre Vineyard in the Santa Maria Valley and spent 15 months in 100% new French oak. This vibrant gold-colored effort offers awesome notes of sautéed citrus, orange blossom, brioche, and white flowers. It's deep, rich, and concentrated, with ample richness and depth, yet also purity and elegance. It’s one of the finest Chardonnays I’ve tasted from winemaker Paul Lato and it’s an incredible wine readers should snatch up.
