"Crushed lemon, poached pear, hazelnuts, and white flowers as well as incredible minerality emerge from the 2018 Chardonnay Lancel Creek Vineyard, one of the finest Sonoma Coast Chardonnay I've ever tasted. Intense, full-bodied, stunningly concentrated, and yet still ethereal and elegant, with incredible class and length on the palate, this is another sensational, magical Chardonnay from Ferren that should age nicely for 10-12 years, and I suspect even longer."

"Broad aromas and full, layered flavors of ripe pineapple, white florals, acacia, creamy vanilla oak and soft acidity. An opulent, oaky style but the oak is well integrated and balanced with the weight of fruit, and the finish boasts crisp citrus acidity. - Ronan Sayburn MS"

"Last of the Chardonnays, the 2017 Chardonnay Lancel Creek Vineyard offers a Chassagne-Montrachet-like bouquet of white flowers, crushed limestone, buttered pineapple, citrus oil, and liquid rock-like minerality. Rich, full-bodied, and beautifully concentrated, it comes close to matching the magical 2016 and is a tour de force in Sonoma Coast Chardonnay that's as good as anything in the vintage. Hats off to winemaker Matt Courtney for another incredible Chardonnay!"

"The 2017 Chardonnay Lancel Creek is powerful and resonant, yet also retains striking translucence. Lemon confit, honeysuckle, wild flowers and lightly honeyed notes all grace this exquisite Chardonnay. Even with all of its obvious texture, the Lancel Creek is translucent and light on its feet. The 2017 is rich but not overdone in any way. What a beautiful wine it is. - Antonio Galloni"

"Custard notes accent the decadently ripe, lavishly spiced apple and pear flavors. The creamy texture on the finish is loaded with buttery and toasty richness. Drink now through 2024. - Kim MARKUS"

"Flirting with perfection, the 2016 Chardonnay Lancel Creek Vineyard offers a touch more zip in its crushed lemon, white flowers, mint, and honeysuckle, aromas and flavors. Rich, full-bodied, and concentrated, yet just incredibly pure, this is a heavenly Chardonnay that's getting up there with the crème de la crème in the vintage. Tasting like a Grand Cru Chablis on Steroids, it's going to continue drinking beautifully for over a decade. It's a wow wine and should be sought out by readers. The Chardonnay of the vintage?"

"The 2016 Chardonnay Lancel Creek Vineyard has a very pretty nose of honeysuckle, wet stone and freshly cut hay with a core of Golden Delicious apples and lemon curd plus hazelnut and honey toast sparks. Medium to full-bodied, it's wonderfully pure in the mouth—apples, nuts and honey—with juicy acidity, finishing long and clean. 125 cases produced.- Erin Brooks"

"The 2016 Chardonnay Lancel Creek is a rich, exuberant wine. A veil of reduction adds freshness to the ample, creamy fruit, while baked apple tart, pear, white FLowers and mint add striking aromatic top notes to this rich, beautifully textured Chardonnay. Simply gorgeous."
