Score 86/100 · Drink 2013-2018, Robert Parker, Oct 2013
The 2011 Chardonnay Estate possesses earthy, waxy and buttery citrus characteristics along with some background wood in its medium-bodied, crisp personality. The finish reveals significant acidity, and the wine is unexpressive at this stage of its development. It is difficult to know how long it will last, but I think 4-5 years minimum is probable. Tel.
