Reviews: 90 pts Vinous/Neil Martin Aug 2018 The 2017 Chardonnay was matured 30% in new French oak and the rest in second-fill barrels for 12 months instead of 14 months. It has a fragrant, quite powerful bouquet of yellow plum, nectarine, light almond and a touch of vanilla emerging with time. The palate is slightly viscous on the entry, edging toward a more buttery style of Chardonnay that feels a little worked, and yet there is no doubting it is a delicious wine with a smooth, crowd-pleasing finish. Not an intellectual Chardonnay, but I guarantee you will finish the bottle. 4 ½ Stars 2019 Platter’s South African Wine Guide Younger vineyards than reserve, less oak, less new, still well-crafted, wild ferment, barreled 12 months 17 (93 pts) a delight, oozes personality; lemon/lime intensity, melba toast a brightly fresh finish, almost in its fruit/acid juxtaposition. 91 pts Wine Advocate March 2020 Opening with a rich and full nose, the 2017 Chardonnay wafts of oak spices, pineapples and pears with an expressive floral essence and aromas of orange zest in the glass. The medium to full-bodied palate is round and structured with generous flavors of creamed corn and sweet lemon preserves on the finish with an elegant focus. This Chardonnay is sure to please the crowd. 2020-2026
