“A full-bodied white with aromas and flavors of apricots, dried mangoes, toasted hazelnuts, flint and saline notes. Buttery with an underlying smokiness, balanced by elegant acidity. Drink or hold.” -James Suckling, December 2020

“Peach cobbler and apple pastry flavors are loaded with hazelnut and toffee accents in this plush-textured version. The buttery and well-spiced finish is luscious and creamy. Drink now through 2023. 1,075 cases made.”

“Beginning with a sensational nosing of grilled pineapple and apple pie, this sumptuous Chardonnay offers rich notes of caramel, banana bread, and vanilla bean. The acidity is uplifting and keeps the wine awake in the glass. Biscuit and pine nut relay a round texture while a wedge of lime cools the palate on the finish.” August 2021

Year’s Best US Chardonnay
“I taste grilled lobster shell,” said Michael
Kowalski of Berkshire Mountain Distillery. And this wine’s richness would be delicious with grilled shellfish. It’s buttery and round, integrating some oak phenolics while still finishing clean. —Reviewed by Joshua Greene. August 2021

The Somm Journal
“Barrel-aged for just over a year, the grapes are chosen row by row in the winery’s estate vineyard. The aromas of brown-sugared beignets, banana, and apple pie are rich and inviting. With a toasty vanilla character, notes of baked apple and lemon wafers are held up by a fine line of acidity. Accents of tobacco and terroir maintain its complex nature.” July 2022
