"A brilliant effort as well is the 2014 Chardonnay Torchiana Beresini Vineyard. This is a dry-farmed, 3-acre vineyard block that is 30 years old in 2014, which is planted with Larry Hyde’s selection of the Wente clone. This is a killer Chardonnay that is showing even better than it was last year. Crushed rock/wet gravel intermixed with orange marmalade, white peach, pineapple and honeysuckle are all present in this full-bodied, dense and concentrated Chardonnay. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this Chardonnay evolve for 6-10 years."
"Tor Kenward is using his vast experience in the wine industry and impressive palate to find exceptional terroirs and produce fascinating wines that merit serious attention. His winemaking guru is Jeff Ames, who makes his own wines under the Rudius label. I re-reviewed the 2014 Chardonnays and most of them fell within one to two points after bottling last year. His 2015 Chardonnays are also bottled. The 2015 Chardonnays, which are concentrated and generally made from smaller yields are slightly even more impressive than his 2014 Chardonnays. Kenward has an impressive array of 2014 reds, all of them showing as well as, or better, than I had predicted in my range of scores last year."
