Tasting Notes

This makes a profound statement about Chardonnay style. Openly rich and smoky, yet graceful and polished, with roasted fig, honeysuckle, baked apple, marshmallow and cinnamon-tinged spices, gaining depth and length. Drink now through 2019. 340 cases made.

James Laube, Wine Spectator, June 2013

The 2010 Chardonnay The Judge is rich, explosive and unctuous, with a stunning interplay of deep, resonant fruit and imposing structure. A wine of pure verticality, the 2010 stands out for its power, length and drive. The 2010 remains incredibly young, but it is fabulous. The textured, creamy finish is hugely appealing. 2013-2018
