90 Points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellars, May 2010

The 2008 Journey Chardonnay is the culmination of the finest cool climate vineyards in Sonoma County and our classic winemaking style. In 2008 Mother Nature delivered a dry winter and mild spring and summer that led to a long, drawn out growing season.

Yellow-gold, rich yellow appearance. The first swirl presents aromas of orange blossom and ripe melon. As the wine opens notes of spice cake and white pepper accent smoky mineral characteristics that continue to evolve throughout the long, focused finish.
