Score 93/100 · Drink 2022-2028, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2021

The 2018 Chardonnay North Slope Vineyard is such a gorgeous wine. Lemon confit, almond, tangerine oil, mint, white flowers and light tropical accents grace this beautiful, open-knit Chardonnay. Soft, pliant fruit and silky contours add to its considerable appeal.

Score 94/100 · Drink 2020-2026, Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate, Sep 2020

The 2018 Chardonnay North Slope Vineyard is scented of toast, flit and roasted almonds with a core of baked apples and touches of honey. The medium-bodied palate is fresh and satiny, slowly unfolding its savory flavors and finishing very long. 910 cases produced.

Score 92/100 · Drink 2020-2028, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Apr 2020

The 2018 Chardonnay The North Slope Vineyard is one of the more overt, textured wines in this lineup. Apricot, orange peel, spice and butter infuse the 2018 with attractive layers of nuance. Silky, open-knit and super expressive, the 2018 will drink well right out of the gate. Readers should expect a generous, unctuous style.
