James Suckling, 92 Points 

"Aromas of white peaches, quince, pear skin, beeswax and jasmine. Full-bodied and dry with chalky texture and vivid freshness to it. Hints of salted butter and crushed stones at the end. Drink now." 

Wine Enthusiast, 92 Points 

"Major oak impact gives this wine an old-school attitude, showing toasted oak, char and butter on the nose and butterscotch, grilled pineapple and vanilla on the palate. A full body and expansive texture make it mouthfilling, while good concentration adds to a lingering finish." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Black Stallion Estate Winery Chardonnay opens with aromas of yellow pear, lemon curd, jasmine and hint of oak. The flavors are tantalizing notes of citrus, chamomile, orange blossom and brown butter. The Chardonnay from the cooler vineyards provides the bright acidity, citrus notes, and lean backbone of the wine, where the Chardonnay from the warmer growing regions of the Napa Valley contributes a riper, fuller-bodied character. The wine has a rich mid-palate weight creating a multi-layered, complex wine and a lingering finish."
