Score 87/100 · Drink 2023-2025, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Aug 2023

The 2020 Chardonnay UV - Silver Eagle Vineyard offers good cut and delineation, but the flavors just aren't fully developed. Fruit, structure and minerality struggle to emerge in a Chardonnay that ultimately feels incomplete.

This site was planted in 2006 by Ulises Valdez and is just behind the Senses estate on Steotz Lane. The 2020 Chardonnay UV - Silver Eagle Vineyard is sunny with yellow flowers and yellow apple, and it is lightly smoky. On the palate, it reveals more fleshy marzipan richness, with baking spice and red apple. Drink 2022-2030. Founded by three childhood friends, Christopher Strieter, Max Thieriot, and Myles Lawrence-Briggs, Senses Wines has their estate holdings in the West Sonoma Coast and Russian River Valley appellations. With their esteemed winemaker, Thomas Rivers Brown, they are producing some exceptional Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon. They have slowly and steadily expanded their production from just 600 cases in 2012 to approximately 5000 cases today.

The 2020 Chardonnay Silver Eagle Vineyard offers fragrant white peach, lime leaves, flint, beeswax and meringue on the nose. The palate marries mouth-coating texture and tangy acidity with peachy fruits and a layered, savory finish. 75 cases were made.
