Jon Steeves rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

Brilliant and bright golden cool climate Chardonnay. Declared 13.5% ABV. Tasting this wine was an elegant experience in balance, integration, terroir and excellence. The 2011 vintage from this small lot vineyard offers purity and finesse with every sip. Tasted after opening to breathe for an hour. Perfection in balance and integration. Blood orange, nectarine, blanched almond, vanilla on the nose and palate. A long finish with persistence of nectarine and almond. Medium plus body. Supple and smooth. Thomas Bachelder and his team have expressed the Twenty Mile Bench terroir with elegance and expertise in this bottle. Exceptionally smooth and tasty. Share this beautiful wine with a special occasion such as a festive turkey dinner, seasonal barbeque chicken, grilled prawn kebabs. Drinking easily on its own for those who enjoy a quality Chardonnay. Tasted April 2017. 94 points.

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.
