Score 87/100 · Drink 2016-2021, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, Dec 2016

There is a notable struck match/sulfide character that dominates the nose of the 2015 Legacy Series Chardonnay to begin, leading to notes of lemon curd and orange blossoms, plus a cedar and toast undercurrent. Likewise, the sulfides somewhat overpower the palate, with some pretty, delicate fruit beneath, plus a satiny texture and good length to its credit. I worry about those sulfides though--it will be a great wine if they calm down and marry into the fruit.

Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2017-2025, Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com, Nov 2016

Smoky, reductive aroma. Bit of burnt rubber. Much better on the palate, with creamy citrus fruit shining through that initial winemaking effect. Bright and zesty on the finish but it's a bit pricey. (JH)
