   Yolanda Rodriguez – May 22, 2020

   Well-polished wine with flint, citrus, honeysuckle, and sea air aromas. Mouth-filling fruit with a nice crisp lift of lemon rind.

   Diana Weber – August 5, 2020

   On the nose, notes of lemon, sweet white flowers, and wet river rocks. Great depth and drive on the palate with a dense core of fruit bound in a glowing mesh of acid, moving into a vibrant fruit-driven acid finish. Taut, vibrant, and balanced.

   Overpriced disappointment. Thin lemon juice with small portion of grape juice and high acidity. Not a rich Chardonnay.

   Straw yellow. Honeysuckle nose. Lemon, oak, and butter flavor. High acidity. Viscous mouthfeel. Enjoyed on a sunny day in the Keys. Score: 89-90.

   Lemon and white flowers on the nose, good acidity, well-structured. Needs more time in the bottle. Nice overall.

   Jamie Montey – December 17, 2020

   Medium-bodied with a lemony taste, slight floral nose, trace of oak, and minerals. A bit acidic at the end, but aging may resolve. Not cheap, but worth keeping a bottle or two if you prefer lean Chardonnay. Rating: around 90.

    Lambertis crew tried Mayacamas Chardonnay with red snapper and risotto. Citrus, mild oak, white flowers, and lemon zest were prominent on the nose and palate. It has a medium body with a crisp acidity. The oak is not overpowering, making it a good match for the fish.

    Chardonnay not my type, but thickens with roasted apples. Fruit is excellent but lemony hit not impressive. Rating increased.

    Review: Creamy, with notes of flowers, lemon and Caribbean fruits. Minimal oak and malolactics. Good with fish. Ageable, but best to drink within 2-3 years.

    Shad Sims – March 18, 2021

    A true old-world varietal with lemon zest, wet slate stone, oak, mineral notes, and a hint of salinity. Best served not colder than 50 degrees to bring out its personality. Could be mistaken for Chablis if blinded.

    Krista Drost – September 12, 2022

    Chardonnay has a pale lemon color with medium to pronounced aromas of lemon, apple, and pear. It has high acidity, medium to high alcohol, and a light body. Lemon, apple, and pineapple flavors are light to medium in intensity, with a medium finish. It’s too lean for my taste, similar to pinot grigio.

    For how young this is, and the fact malolactic fermentation is fully blocked, it is shocking how much texture is on this wine. Very fresh, high acid Napa Chardonnay with lots of lemon and salt on the nose and palate. Should get better, but delicious now
