Robert Parker (97)

The 2011 is a great Chardonnay Marcassin Vineyard from a much-maligned and sometimes excessively criticized vintage. 2011 has its low points, but there are many producers who got it right, and survived the challenging growing and harvest conditions. This wine has phenomenal intensity, with plenty of crushed rock, pineapple, honeysuckle, orange and tangerine blossom in an elegant, medium to full-bodied style, with terrific intensity, good acidity and freshness. This is more evolved than either the 2009 or 2010, and probably will be a candidate for 7-8 years of aging, rather than 10 or more.

James Suckling (93)

Combines rich, maturing fig, honeydew and apricot flavors with a honeyed edge. The acidity is fresh and lively, adding intrigue and pleasant complexity as this bridges youthfulness and the onset of maturity.
