Robert Parker Jr.-The Wine Advocate - 93 Points
Far superior is the 2008 Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vineyard Block UU. This is a seriously endowed effort displaying notes of lemon and orange blossom, spice, and subtle background earth, medium to full body, plenty of minerality and acidity, and a long finish. Drink this impressive Chardonnay between now and 2016. (August 2010)

Wine Spectator - 91 Points

Tangy citrus, pink grapefruit and green apple flavors give this is mouthwatering sensation, with floral aromas. Full-bodied, rich and layered, ending with a long, persistent finish. Drink now through 2014-J.L(12/15/2009)

Brings Foxen's usual steely, dry, minerally approach to Chardonnay, which makes for a more versatile, elegant wine. It's bone dry, while high acidity makes the mouth water, but the austerity is relieved by the ripeness of the citrus, peach and apple fruit. Should develop through 2013, becoming creamier and nuttier.-S.H(12/31/2009)
