Jon Steeves rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

The 2010 vintage of Ghost Pines Chardonnay yields from a mix of California's prime regions (70% Sonoma, 20% Napa, 10% Monterey grapes). This wine is golden coloured and offers butterscotch, vanilla, ripe Asian pear, ripe nectarine, with a creamy supple and delicious mouthfeel. This is an American Oaked California Chardonnay with character and delicious appeal. Recommend pairing with vegan toasted coconut Kale salad, vegetarian roasted pineapple, tofu in coconut milk curry, Thai red curry mussels, lobster bisque, butternut squash soup with a maple drizzle. Pan seared halibut steak. Enjoy soon.

Dan Trcka Wine Blogger rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

The 2010 Ghost Pine Chardonnay, sourced from Sonoma, Monterey and Napa Counties and aged in both French and American oak after fermentation, has intense aromas of ripe pear, citrus, butter and subtle oak. It is medium bodied with good fruit intensity, has a good structure and a long and smooth finish. Pair with salty meat dishes, but rather enjoy sipping it by itself; drink now to 2017. My impression: BEAUTIFUL, 90pts – it is recommended especially because currently it is on Limited Time Offer for $2 off. Tasted March/13.

Natalie's Review

Ghost Pines Chardonnay 2010, Napa, Sonoma, Monterey, California, United States: Rich and round with lovely aromas of butterscotch, vanilla smoke and ripe peach. Full-bodied and mouth-filling, but not heavy. Solid value for this price. Try it with pasta in a cream sauce. Drink: 2012-2015. 308122 14% XD 750 mL $23.95 Score: 90/100.
