Go To Laird Chardonnay Cold Creek

"The 2017 Chardonnay Cold Creek Ranch gives up notions of pear tart, pink grapefruit and guava with touches of toasted almonds, fresh ginger and pie crust. Medium-bodied, the palate is elegantly played with loads of freshness and a savory finish. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown"

- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Issue #245, October 2019), 89 pts

"This glistens with intense creaminess to the tropical fruit, pear tart and lemon curd flavors, focused and powerful. White chocolate and light smoky notes show on the long, powerful finish. Drink now through 2023. 2,200 cases made. - KM."

"Ripe aromas of butterscotch, lemon curd, apricot and cantaloupe. It’s full-bodied and creamy with crisp acidity and a saline edge. Drink now."
