THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2016 Chardonnay Ma Belle Fille slowly unfurls in the glass to reveal vibrant key lime pie, lemongrass, pink grapefruit and white peaches scents with suggestions of crushed stones, clotted cream, almond croissant and orange blossoms. Medium to full-bodied and with a fantastic intensity of citrus and stone fruit layers giving way to loads of mineral accents, it finishes long and creamy. 1,650 cases produced."

JAMES SUCKLING: "Sliced apples and cooked pears with lemon rind and cream. Lemons, too. Medium-to full-bodied, layered and creamy. Plenty of toasted coconut and hints of lime. Love the dense and layered mouthfeel. Drink now."

JEB DUNNUCK: "From a western slope that sees the morning sun, the 2016 Chardonnay Ma Belle-Fille is a smoking effort. White peach, apple, white flowers, tangerine, and ample spice notes all emerge from this richer, concentrated, opulent hedonistic Chardonnay that has notable acidity and a pure, elegant finish."

WINE SPECTATOR: "Fresh, ripe citrus, honeydew, green apple and lemony notes fold together, held back by a rawness in texture that should ease with time. Drink now through 2023. 1,635 cases made. — JL"
