92 points - Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate

Aromatics of kaffir lime leaf and lemon curd, with a gentle saline/mineral freshness. Energetic and racy, this wine is textural yet refreshing. Near-complete ML fermentation adds richness and depth, with no sign of buttery notes. Balanced and elegant, with a clean, long finish, that is both bright and round at the same time. - Matt Brady, Winemaker

"Gunflint gives way to golden apples, toast and almonds on the nose of the 2020 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills. It has a light-bodied palate with a broad, rounded texture, seamless acidity, savory fruits and a long, spicy finish. 400 cases produced." -Erin Brooks

91 points - Antonio Galloni, Vinous

"The 2020 Chardonnay (Sta. Rita Hills) is a very pretty appellation-level wine. Apricot, candied lemon peel, brioche and a hint of spice all come together. This is the juiciest of the three Chardonnays in the lineup." -Antonio Galloni

91 points - Matt Kettmann, Wine Enthusiast

"Baked-lemon and wool aromas meet with fresh spring blossom and crisp melon on the nose of this bottling. There's firm texture to the sip, where a grippy consistency carries lime pith, lemon flesh and Asian-pear flavors." -Matt Kettmann
