Well matched with foie gras truffle butter, lobster ravioli, peas, scallops with caviar, shrimp, and truffle juice. Wow. The nose is big and complex, the finish carries on. Nothing interferes with the food.

may be the best Chardonnay i've tasted. I'll confess I'm not a white wine lover, but wines like this could change my thinking. When I do drink whites I've always been partial to Burgundies, Chablis and Riesling because I don't like the heavy fatness of American Chardonnay's. But this wine has the best of all worlds...the lushness of an American Chard while maintaining a delicate character. And it's very complex owing to a strong minerality.

Nothing short of fabulous from the first whiff to the last sip.

It’s hard to find a better Chardonnay than this one – obtained from a collector in Vancouver. (Many thanks!)

Citrus-kissed saltiness lies at the center of this incredibly delicious, deliriously good wine.

Beautifully crisp, with just the right amount of oak - it lingers in stony minerality & a freshness of apricot.

Memorable from first sip to last – distinctly rich but graceful… finishes with superb grip.

Wow! This was truly an outstanding bottle of chardonnay! Incredibly balanced, smooth as silk, with lots of fruit and enough acidity to pair flawlessly with some grilled Copper River salmon. Think this will continue to improve for another 4-5 years but it is so delicious now that my remaining bottles may vanish before I can test this theory.

I never call out other reviewers since everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But I have tasted virtually every top chardonnay made in the world and I am hard pressed to remember one that is any better than this one. I completely agree with AG's 97 pt. rating and would have zero complaint paying $100 or more for this wine. However, because I bought several bottles directly from the winery for $72/each, I feel like I got a heckuva of deal, especially since a comparable Batard Montrachet would set me back a minimum of $200+/each. So from my perspective the QPR is excellent.

Although extremely young, rich and vibrant with notes of baked apple, apricot, and a firm acidity that lingers on the finish. The oak will become more prominent given time but as of right now it is young fruity, and fantastic. Absolutely delicious.

Beach 2021; 8/7/2021-8/14/2021 (Kiawah Island, SC): All tropical fruit, more Aubert-esque. Pineapple, mango, citrus. Oak in check. Delicious. At peak for me.

My favorite wine of the year so far! So many flavors and balanced. Better near room temp. The elegance, purity and power is all in stride. Rachael's vineyard is my favorite California Chardonnay!

Shimmering gold in color. 14.2% ABV. Gorgeous nose of honey, lemon and hazlenuts. Rich and oily on the palate. Wonderful mouth feel. Flavors of lemon meringue, lime and honeysuckle. The finish is long and spicy. Absolutely stunning Chardonnay. Aging beautifully. Drink over the next 1-2 years.

A very rich, fruitful Chard. This wine has softened with age and the oak has integrated nicely. A touch of acid; however, the fruit and alcohol are very present. Tastes of lemon oil, papaya, melon and pine nuts.

Initial blind thought was a Montrachet, heavy and dense on the palate, dealightful and a long life ahead. In this flight this ap was the best out of 4. It's a buy.

I'll say it again. I'm one who loves oaky Cal chardonnay. Yet it needs sufficient acidity and minerality to truly shine and this does that. Love this wine.
