91 points Josh Raynolds (International Wine Cellar): "[$36 list] Bright yellow. Complex, heady bouquet of dried pear, melon, honey and botanical herbs, with a smoky mineral undertone. Spicy and precise on the palate, showing gently sweet honeydew and orchard fruit flavors with complicating notes of sage, licorice and white pepper. Very complex chardonnay with strong finishing bite and lingering sweetness. (Jul/Aug 2010)"

91 points James Suckling: "A composed symphony of aged truffle, mineral and quinine... Sexy wine... Screw cap. Drink now. (12/16/11)"

90 points Wine Spectator: "[$36 list] A lively, refreshing style, delivering lots of apple, spice and lime flavors, mingling easily through the long, crisp finish. Drink now through 2012. 500 cases imported. (2010)"

90 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$36 list] The Art Series’s little sibling is this lush, full-bodied Chardonnay that packs in a lot of flavor. Hints of buttered toast, nuts, vanilla and tropical fruit (guava?) all gently caress the palate, framed by just enough focus to hold it all together. Drink now. (Feb 2011)"
