Robust, lightly toasty, almost creamy wine. It glides across the palate leaving a trail of whipped cream; it’s that smooth and flavorful. In a year that produced a number of stunningly good Washington Chardonnays, this belongs with the best. ——P.G.(9/1/2011)—— 94

As before, this features fruit from Conner-Lee, here with some Lewis vineyard grapes added to bring in more minerality. The result is a well-crafted mix of grapes from these two premier vineyards, with a tight core of chalk-laden citrus fruits. Persistent and resonant, the fruit is edged with citrus skin and brings a pat of butter at the end.——P.G.(12/31/2010)—— 93

For the first time the fruit was sourced from Conner Lee vineyard old vines. It’s a glorious wine, a near-perfect mix of citrus and stone, kissed with honey and dust, lightly buttery. Fermented mostly with native yeast, this is one of the best Washington Chardonnays of a very good vintage. ——P.G.(8/1/2009)—— 93

All Milbrandt fruit has created a sappy, buttery and bright Washington Chardonnay. It bursts upon the palate with a beautiful mix of tropical fruits and caramel. Flavors are rich, persistent and lush. You want more long after the bottle has been drained.——P.G.(12/1/2008)—— 93
