Sauvignon Blanc  |
$50 |
4 |
|
| |
| WA 94+ (12/2017): Composed of Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Musque and a splash of Semillon, the 2016 Sauvignon Blanc has pink grapefruit, green mango, ripe pears and baking bread notions with touches of beeswax and crushed stones. Medium-bodied, very finely crafted and refreshing in the mouth, it has a lovely silky texture and fantastic intensity of tropical flavors with a long steely finish. |

Anderson Valley Chardonnay |
$44.95 |
36 |
|
| |
| WA 90 (5/2018): The 2016 Alesia Chardonnay Anderson Valley offers up an inviting bouquet of green orchard fruit, struck match, blanched almonds and subtle nutmeg. On the palate, it's medium-bodied and succulent, with a more rounded, giving profile than its Santa Cruz Mountains counterpart but displays good cut and vitality, concluding with a youthfully chalky finish. This is the most accessible Chardonnay in the Rhys portfolio, but I'd expect it to drink well for the better part of a decade. |

CIX Chardonnay (1.5 L) |
$359 |
1 |
|
| |
| VM 95 (4/2018): Racy and unctuous in the glass, the 2016 Chardonnay CIX Vineyard is one of the most viscous wines in this range. This opulent, dense Chardonnay is going to need quite a bit of time to be at its very best, but it is impressive, even at this early stage. The CIX gets more new oak than most of the other Chardonnays, and yet the wood is very nicely integrated. Antonio Galloni. |

Hudson Vyd. Chardonnay |
$139 |
2 |
|
| |
| VM 97 (4/2018): Aubert's 2016 Chardonnay Hudson Vineyard is creamy, ample and expressive, but also light on its feet, as so many of these wines are. Chamomile, orchard fruit, lemon confit and melon notes fill out the wine's frame effortlessly. The veil of reduction that is often found in the Hudson is present, but very much buried by the sheer intensity and richness of the fruit. Antonio Galloni. |

Larry Hyde and Sons Vyd. Carneros Chardonnay (1.5 L) |
$325 |
1 |
|
| |
VM 97 (4/2018): The 2016 Chardonnay Larry Hyde and Sons is so delicate, precise and nuanced. In 2016, the Hyde leans more towards the citrus end of the spectrum. Candied lemon peel and lifted floral notes are some of the signatures in this striking, beautifully delineated Chardonnay. In most vintages, Hyde tends to give a decidedly forward style of Chardonnay. Mark Aubert's 2016 is all finesse. Antonio Galloni.
WS 96 (3/2018): Voluptuous and creamy, with densely packed flavors of apple pastry, pear tart and peach and hints of mango that are long and rich. The plush, complex finish is filled with notes of spice and dried herbs. Drink now through 2026. 960 cases made. |

UV-SL Vyd. Chardonnay |
$140 |
2 |
|
| |
| VM 96 (4/2018): The 2016 Chardonnay UV-SL Vineyard is powerful and also razor-sharp. Chalk, crushed rocks, mint and citrus peel give the UV-SL its distinctive energetic, focused feel. The UV-SL shows the distinct influence of elevation at this site perched at 1,200 feet above sea level. While many of the Aubert Chardonnays are overt, the UV-SL is much less forthcoming. Underpinnings of acid and structure add to the wine's considerable appeal. Antonio Galloni. |

| JD 88 (12/2017): The 2016 Sauvignon Blanc is a solid white that gives up classic green citrus, a touch of peach, and subtle honeysuckle notes in a medium-bodied, supple, charming style. |

|
| |
| WA 92+ (10/2017): Bottled in June 2016, the 2016 Sauvignon Blanc gives up intense white peaches, grapefruit and lemon tart notes with hints of dried herbs, struck match, baker’s yeast and fresh hay. Medium-bodied, the palate lends a lovely satiny texture with a refreshing backbone lifting the vibrant citrus flavors, finishing long and steely. Drinking nicely now, it should cellar gracefully for 5-7+ years. 600 were cases made. |

Belle Cote Chardonnay (1.5 L) |
$259 |
1 |
|
| |
| JD 96 (6/2018): From vines planted in 1990, the 2016 Chardonnay Belle- Côte is a field selection that includes six different clones (all imported from Burgundy). It has a very classic, Burgundian style in its caramelized citrus, toasted bread, marzipan, and spice-driven aromas and flavors. This beauty offers more and more clean minerality and oyster shell characteristics with time in the glass, is incredibly pure and finesse-oriented, and has beautiful depth and richness. It’s a stunner. |

Medium to full-bodied, pure, and elegant, it has beautifully integrated acidity, a silky, classic texture, and a great finish. This is mostly Hyde clone. |

| WA 98 (10/2018): The 2016 Chardonnay Ma Belle Fille slowly unfurls in the glass to reveal vibrant key lime pie, lemongrass, pink grapefruit and white peaches scents with suggestions of crushed stones, clotted cream, almond croissant and orange blossoms. Medium to full-bodied and with a fantastic intensity of citrus and stone fruit layers giving way to loads of mineral accents, it finishes long and creamy. 1,650 cases produced. |

Coup de Coeur Chardonnay |
$219 |

|
| |
| JD 100 (6/2018): Pure perfection in the glass is the 2016 Chardonnay Coup de Coeur, a selection of Luc’s favorite barrels. It offers extraordinary notes of caramelized citrus, toasted brioche, marzipan, white flowers and a liqueur of rocks-like minerality. With full body, incredible purity, a layered, huge palate presence, yet a weightless, elegant texture, it needs to be tasted to be believed. Hats off to Morlet for an incredible Chardonnay. Give it a year and enjoy over the following decade or more. |

La Proportion Doree |
$119 |

|
| |
| JD 97 (6/2018): Reminding me of a great vintage of La Mission Haut Brion, the 2016 La Proportion Dorée (65% Sémillon, 33% Sauvignon Blanc and 2% Muscadelle) boasts phenomenal notes of citrus, tangerines, flower oil, and candied lemons. It’s deep, rich, and concentrated, yet has vibrant acidity as well as purity. It’s unquestionably one of the best white Bordeaux blends coming out of California. |

B. Thieriot Vyd. Chardonnay |
$69 |
1 |
|
| |
| JD 98 (6/2018): The crème of the Chardonnays is the 2016 Chardonnay B. Thieriot Vineyard which comes from a site not far from the Summa Vineyard, far out on the Sonoma Coast. From vines planted in 1990, this tour de force tastes like a Grand Cru white Burgundy with its white, white fruit, white flowers, citrus blossom, and flinty, salty minerality. Deep, concentrated, yet chiseled and focused on the palate, it’s pure class and world-class. Give bottles a year or two and it will keep for 10-15 years. |

Joy Road Vyd. Chardonnay |
$59.99 |
1 |
|
| |
| JD 95 (6/2018): The 2016 Chardonnay Joy Road Vineyard is another Sonoma Coast release that’s from a tiny half-acre of Goldridge soils and a site farmed by Terry Adams (DuMol also gets Pinot Noir from this site). Brought up in 25% new French oak, it has a terrific flinty mineral component as well as notes of honeycomb, brioche, orange blossom, and subtle tropical fruits. Concentrated, pure, elegant, and beautifully balanced, it’s another terrific Chardonnay from this vintage. |

2016 |
Deux Grenouilles Proprietary Blend |
$165 |
13 |
|
| |
JD 97 (10/2018): The 2016 Deux Grenouilles is another brilliant white from this estate. Based on 36% Roussanne, 29% Chardonnay, 23% Viognier, and the balance Petite Manseng and Muscat, brought up 48% new French oak (the balance is in neutral oak and concrete eggs). This rich, full-bodied, incredibly elegant white offers up a smorgasbord of buttered citrus, orange blossom, flower oil, and honeyed minerality. Despite being a full-bodied, powerful wine, it stays fresh and graceful, with terrific freshness and acidity. It needs a decant if drinking any time soon and should keep for a decade or more.
WA 94 (8/2018): The 2016 Deux Grenouilles White bursts with expressive aromas of apricot preserve, yellow plums, dried flowers, orange rind and Acacia honey. It's a deftly judged blend of 36% Roussanne, 29% Chardonnay, 23% Viognier, 9% Petite Manseng and 3% Muscat, and the exotic aromatic contributions of the Viognier and Muscat don't drown out the subtle expressions of the other varieties. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, fat and lavish, with considerable satiny texture, juicy acids and a sapid, even savory finish that I suspect reflects the Petite Manseng component. It's a rich and dramatic white that should drink well on release and could well be very interesting with time in the bottle. The Deux Grenouilles was produced entirely from estate fruit with the exception of Chardonnay from Bien Nacido Vineyard, and it was vinified in 26% concrete eggs, 26% used barrels and 48% new oak.
VM 94 (9/2018): The 2016 Deux Grenouilles is gorgeous. Rich and ample on the palate, with tremendous depth, the 2016 is super-distinctive. Like all Sine Qua Non whites, the Deux Grenouilles will need a few years in bottle to come into its own. Apricot pit, almond, chamomile and dried flowers are woven together in a creamy, expansive white endowed with superb textural voluptuousness. The Sine Qua Non whites are tempting to drink upon release, but I prefer them with a few years of bottle age. Antonio Galloni. |
