Score 92/100 · The Wine Advocate, Dec 2019

The Williams Selyem estate vineyard is planted to 20 different clones/selections. The 2016 Chardonnay Estate Vineyard opens with green apple, poached pear, gunflint and crushed almond with cheese rind, baker's yeast and white stone fruits at the core. It's light to medium-bodied, bright and lively in the mouth with a mineral streak, finishing long and fresh.
