Perfectly ripened banana with a hint of fresh-baked rolls. A sweet and savory note comes through with Marcona almonds and sea salt. There is a richness and viscosity which ties it all together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCritical Acclaim\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRP94\u003cbr\u003e Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2020 Chardonnay Estate comes from the own-rooted old vines planted in 1973. It has pretty scents of golden apples, burnt lemon peel, dried tarragon and lots of spicy accents with a gentle creaminess in the background. Medium-bodied and satiny, the palate boasts concentrated citrus underpinned by sparks of mineral character and bright acidity, finishing long and mineral driven. Best after 2022.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eW\u0026amp;S94\u003cbr\u003e Wine \u0026amp; Spirits\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnthony Avila was second in command for five years before he took over winemaking at the Solomon Hills and Bien Nacido estates in late 2019. Now, he’s taking the Miller family wines in a new direction. This chardonnay owes its elegance and acid structure to the cool windswept coastal plain east of the breakers. It’s rich in its lemony scent overlain by nutty lees, in the smoky, savory aromas and warm apple flavors conveyed with a thrilling tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWS93\u003cbr\u003e Wine Spectator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemarkably intense and vivid, with white peach, Honeycrisp apple, tangerine and savory notes of tahini and crunchy sea salt, plus aromas of fresh-clipped herbs and green tea that linger on the long, expressive and sleek finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWE92\u003cbr\u003e Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTightly woven lemon peel, crushed stone and light nectarine aromas come through on the nose of this bottling.
