91+ points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (Wine Advocate): "From the home vineyard on limestone soil, the 2009 Field of Fire Chardonnay has slightly closed warm apple and apricot aromas with some cashews, meal and a little honeysuckle. Very crisp and rich in the medium bodied mouth, it offers a generous amount of mid-palate flavor and good texture, finishing long with creamy/nutty notes. Drink it 2012 to 2016+. (Oct 2011)"

Producer notes: "1.7 tons/acre from this tiny, south-east facing home block; nine year old vines. Biodynamic from inception. Brilliant yellow-gold. A nose of baked peach, pate brisee, and yellow flowers -- acacia and fennel blossom. Also a comfortable note of warm cornbread. Lush on entry, but quickly turns streamlined, from stony acidity and girdling phenolics: great volume and energy, condensing and accelerating on the palate. Flavours of yellow peach, ground almonds, and lemon curd. Very fluid, very long. 50 cases produced."
