92 Points, Tim Fish, Wine Spectator: "Dynamic and fresh, with brisk apple, lemon blossom and kiwi flavors that speed along the sleek finish. Drink now. 2,312 cases made." 03/25

92 Points, Clive Pursehouse, Decanter: "The Roserock balances the ripeness of this wine with a great mineral freshness. From the Drouhin, Oregon founded Eola-Amity estate, balanced between oak and stainless steel, its aromas of sweet lemon pulp and flinty crushed stone. The palate continues with lithe green mangoes, sea salt and thirst-slaking lemon pith." 02/25

92+ Points, John Gilman, View from the Cellar: "The 2023 Chardonnay from the Drouhin family’s Roserock property is an excellent young wine, coming in at 14.1 percent alcohol in this vintage and offering vivid complexity on both the nose and palate. The bouquet hops from the glass in a lovely blend of pear, apple, hazelnut, a lovely foundation of soil, fruit blossoms and a discreet framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, focused and nascently complex, with a lovely core of fruit, excellent soil undertow, zesty acids and impeccable balance on the long and bouncy finish. This is still fairly primary in personality on the palate and I would be inclined to keep my bottles in the cellar for three or four years, just to let the wine fully blossom on the palate. It is an excellent young chardonnay.”
