Score 92/100 · Robert Parker, Aug 2006

Buttery, with an evolved light gold color, is the 2002 Chardonnay Estate. It is more typically California with less minerality than the 2001, offering big, rich, full-bodied flavors, good acidity, and a judicious touch of toasty oak. Tel. (408) 867-5832

Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2006-2008, Jancis Robinson MW, May 2006

Deep gold. At first seemed reduced, then a bit oxidised! Cheesey, quite interesting. Second bottle also leesy and cheesy. At least it’s lively. The fruit has lots of personality. (JR)

Score 90/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jul 2005

Medium straw-yellow. Smoked nuts, minerals and spices on the nose. Rich, leesy and thick for this bottling, with highly concentrated, complex flavors of peach pit, poached pear, tangerine, bergamot and toasted nuts. Fatter than recent vintages. Finishes dense and long.
