Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Gracefully opulent and immensely complex, the wine shows ripe stone fruit, lemon peel, vanilla and cedary oak characters with a hint of brioche nuance. The palate offers power as well as focus, displaying richly textured mouthfeel backed by refreshing acidity. Wonderful presence in the mouth with a superbly long, expansive finish.

Erin Larkin - Halliday's Wine Companion

Fruit from the Calgardup Road vineyard, whole clusters, fermented in barrel, matured for 10 months in French oak, regular bâtonnage. Restrained, sophisticated, and with a line of saline acid that streaks down the side of the fruit (like a black striped minnow). This is long and sophisticated, with great flavour concentration. It feels effortless, and that is in line with what we have come to expect from the 2020 vintage in the context of Margaret River whites"

One of those Chardonnays you just know is going to look even better down the track. If patience is not your thing, lots to love now, but if you hold off then any time over the next five to six years, you’ll have something a bit special. A shining lemon hue, at the moment, with notes of spices, cashews, bergamot, melon and stonefruit and notable oak integration. There is focus, length and balance here too, with good intensity never wavering. Impressive so do try and put at least a few bottles away. You will not regret it.

Jane Faulkner - Halliday's Wine Companion

Almost shy on the flavour front, just faint citrus/white stone fruit with cedary, spicy oak infusing everything. The palate is rather malleable; certainly, the acidity is soft, although there’s a juiciness. It’s appealing, but if anything, this needs more time to settle and come together.
