92pts, The Wine Enthusiast. A pristine Chardonnay from Calera, selected from the top vineyards in San Barbera, Monterey and San Luis. The 2015 vintage follows California's fourth year of a drought and resulted in very low yields, meaning the limited run of wines from this vintage have great depth and concentration. After hand harvesting, the whole grape clusters were pressed and the juice was gently moved by gravity to Calera’s barrel cellar. Fermentation in barrels by native yeasts is followed by complete malolactic fermentation. It's a mouthcoating, rich white wine with a silky, creamy texture and notes of buttery poached pears, ripe tangerine, gardenia and lemon with accents of almonds and key lime pie. The finish is delightfully zingy.
