Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

From California's Sonama County, a Chard with aromas of buttered toast, vanilla and hint of lemon. Palate gives buttered toast, lime, oak and a touch of smoke. Dry and very balanced with a long smokey finish. Very intriguing, with a subtle opening, but memorable finish.
Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Deep lemon colour denotes the full-body of this California Chardonnay. Points for typicity : oak, butter, toast, nutty, yeast, lemon... Long buttery cream finish. Some good acidity to cleanse the palate. Perfect for creamy pastas or rich buttery shellfish dishes. Tips the scales at $29.
This Californian Chardonnay is made by the film director, or rather he owns the winery, Francis Ford Coppola (Dracula, The Godfather, etc). - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
