At once delicate and powerful, the 2016 Staglin Chardonnay opens to reveal a citrus complex of Buddha's hand, galangal and kaffir lime leaf underlain by cut melon, firm stone fruits and fissured granite with flecks of damp limestone and subtle hints of spice. Like 300 thread-count Pima cotton sheets, this precise wine is cool, crisp and smooth with a lithe and engaging texture that just glides seamlessly from beginning to end.
Wine Spectator

Big and rich, offering a juicy mix of apple, pear and salted almond flavors that are open-textured and spicy. Buttery notes emerge on the finish.
Wine Advocate

The 2016 Chardonnay has a wonderfully expressive tropical fruit nose, offering notes of pineapple, green mango and fresh grapefruit plus hints of honeyed toast, orange blossoms and nutmeg. Medium-bodied, soft, refreshing and approachable at this youthful stage, it has a lovely spiciness contributing to the depth on the finish.
