96 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "Starting with the appellation cuvée, the 2019 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills reveals a medium gold hue as well as classic Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay notes of salted citrus, orchard fruits, toasted nuts, and brioche, with ample chalky, flinty minerality. Clean, pure, medium-bodied, and brilliantly balanced, it stretches out beautifully on the finish and is a thrilling Chardonnay that's unquestionably in the same realm as the single vineyards."
94 Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2019 Chardonnay Estate is positively stellar. Rich and ample, the 2019 Estate shows just how compelling the vintage is for Chardonnay. Chad Melville coaxes unreal complexity from his vineyards. The 2019 is ample, concentrated and full of personality. Lemon confit, almond, flowers and tropical accents linger. The Estate spent 11 months in steel with no stirring or racking, except to bottle."
