Score 94/100 · Drink 2005-2013, Robert Parker, Aug 2005

The brilliant 2003 Chardonnay Melville Vineyard comes across like a high-class Corton-Charlemagne with an undeniable liquid stone-like character as well as a profound bouquet of honeyed lemons, tangerine skins, minerals, and white flowers. Full and concentrated, with superb definition and vibrancy, this is a striking Chardonnay to enjoy over the next 7-8 years. Tel. (805) 452-5609

Score 88/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jul 2005

Aromas of dried fruits, honey and smoky oak. Sweet, rich, spicy and fat, with leesyflavors of smoke and nuts. Not a fruity style, but full and persistent.
