Score 95/100 · Drink 2018-2027, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, Jun 2018
The 2016 Chardonnay Cuvee Alyce is scented of fresh grapefruit, pineapple and warm apricots with hints of chalk dust, fresh ginger, brioche and cashews. Medium to full-bodied, it packs in tons of opulent tropical and spice flavors, with a pleasant oiliness to the texture and a very long finish. 1,120 cases produced.

The 2016 Chardonnay Cuvée Alyce is gorgeous, but is also going to need a few years to come into its own. All of the signatures of this wine – specifically the rich, tropical fruit – are there, but there is also a good bit of freshness to play off the more overt elements.
