95 WS "Yummy, with rich, concentrated flavors and a smooth texture. Deftly balanced and sharply focused, the core pear, fig, honey, citrus and spicy pineapple flavors unfold gracefully and persist on the finish. [590 cases made.]" 93 RP "The recently released 2002 Chardonnays include the 2002 Chardonnay Charles Ranch, an exotic wine that smells akin to creme brulee, eggs, and buttered lychees. A heady, potent concoction, in the mouth this wine comes across almost like a Chardonnay made with a dose of Grand Marnier added to the wine."
