| TASTING NOTE: The focus of a single-vineyard, the warmth of a vintage and the richesse of the barrel are all to blame for the Silver Line's step in a fortuitous direction. The heat followed the freeze (with less than obvious transitions in between) and it's almost as if chardonnay like this needed to stand up and be counted in 2016. G. Marquis makes it happen, with tannic, extracted and juicy tart character atop green apple fruit. This carries real spice, smoke and length. Drink 2017-2021. Score - 88 (Michael Godel, winealign.com, Sept. 6, 2017) |
