Score 94/100 · Drink 2003-2008, Robert Parker, Dec 2003
The spectacular 2001 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast exhibits a medium light gold color with a greenish hue. It boasts a big, orange blossom, citrus oil, lanolin, and candied tropical fruit-scented perfume along with good underlying acidity, and a hint of minerality. It’s a terrific Chardonnay to drink young, but it should age for 4-5 years. Tel. (707) 255-2321; Fax (707) 255-6786

Score 92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
Bright, pale yellow. Superripe aromas of peach, apricot, butterscotch and minerals. Dense, thick and strong on fruit. A chewy, highly concentrated wine with excellent volume and depth, just this side of heavy. Finishes with very persistent flavors of candied pineapple and apricot.
