Score 90/100 · Drink 2002-2005, Robert Parker, Aug 2002

There are 3,300 cases of the unfiltered, steely, Chablis-like 2000 Chardonnay Estate. It possesses excellent citrus and liquid mineral notes, medium body, subtle oak, and loads of fruit. This crisp and refreshing offering will drink well during its first 2-3 years of life. Tel. (707) 823-2378; Fax (707) 823-0918

Score 88/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

(includes the old Wente clones that normally make up the reserve bottling) Hazy appearance. Complex aromas of peach, honey, spices and grilled nuts. Spicy, ripe and soft, with an impression of elevated alcohol. The pH here is on the low side yet the acids are nicely integrated. A very dry style of chardonnay with modest nuance. Dehlinger sold off nearly half of his very large chardonnay crop in 2000.
