Wine Advocate: 96 Points

The 2020 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast is a blend of declassified barrels from Ferren's single-vineyard program. It was matured in 20% new French oak for 12 months and six months in stainless steel. It takes time to unfold from youthful flint and crème brûlée aromas to deeper tones of baked quince warm peaches and roasted almonds. The light-bodied palate pairs concentrated creamy flavors and generous yet integrated oak spice with lively acidity and it has a long nutty finish. 272 cases were made.

Wine Spectator: 94 Points

Seamless showing round lemon curd ripe peach melon and baked apple flavors with hints of brown sugar spices and salted butter. Before the flavors settle this reveals a freshness from the mouthwatering acidity and savory minerality that turns up the intensity and focus creating more verve on the long expressive finish.
