Score 88/100 · Drink 2018-2022, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Sep 2018

The 2016 Chardonnay Hapgood feels heavy and overripe. I find only modest complexity, especially within the context of the other Chardonnays in this range, all of which are more exciting.

Score 92/100 · Drink 2019-2030, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Apr 2018

The 2016 Chardonnay Hapgood opens in the glass with notes of pear, peach pit and iodine, framed by a light touch of nutty reduction. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, tensile and saline, with lovely length and a slightly austere, uncompromising personality that will likely unwind with a few years of bottle age.
