Really easy drinking Pinot. Had a nice color and body. — 8 years ago

2013. Great example of Santa Maria Chardonnay. Lemon zest, just-ripe peach, and green apple overlay a pronounced impression of minerality. Deft use of oak that lifts the aromatics and texture rather than overwhelming it, adding subtle notes of toast and cinnamon to the finish. Singularly Santa Maria; stands head to head with something like Hanzell or Mount Eden but never sacrifices its strong sense of place. — 10 years ago

Amazed by this Chardonnay from the okanagan valley. Tons of minerality and beautifully balanced oak. Soft lemon and apple. Reminds me of Donum or Hanzell. — 11 years ago

Light yet developed fresh lemon rind crushed rock and grass on the nose. Gorgeous structure and beautiful citrus with wet stone. Lightly decanted yet shows potential for pure greatness. — 9 years ago

Wonderful acidity. Been a long time since I have had a chard with such intense citrus and lemongrass right up front. No wood whatsoever...the way nature intended. — 10 years ago

This wine (and the Lioco Hanzell Chard) consistently broaden my horizons on what's possible with the right fruit and the right wine making technique. With beautiful red fruit on the nose and palate that lead to a structured earthiness on it's finish. It's great with food or on its own, it's wine like this that keeps pulling me back to pulling more corks. — 9 years ago

Calera makes really distinctive stuff, similar to Hanzell not in taste but in that they have their own style which I just really respect and enjoy. — 10 years ago
