The 2009 Hunting Hill Chardonnay is a little youthfully mute, giving delicate lime zest, chalk dust and pink grapefruit aromas over toasted almonds, meal and buttered scones. The palate has an elegant medium body yet packs in wonderfully concentrated toast, meal and citrus flavors with racy acidity, a satiny texture and a very long finish. I love it now, though it will benefit from another 6-12 months in bottle, drinking best 2013 to 2019+. Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW
This is a New World's answer to Chevalier-Montrachet. The bouquet is finely-scented with white peach, white flowers, roasted nuts and flint. It's superbly structured and textured on the palate showing concentration, weight and bright acidity. The length is almost infinite. A wine of immaculate clarity and exquisite definition. At its best: 2015 to 2025. Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
Very pale in colour, with a smoky, minerally nose, in the mouth it is full and multi-layered, yet with a tight, linear structure. Altogether a very complex and stylish wine for that special occasion.
