Wine Spectator, Web edition 2010
"Fresh peach, melon and citrus are moderately rich and full-bodied, with a dash of toasty oak, turning simpler on the finish. Drink now." –JL   87 points

Wine Spectator June 15, 2009
"Leesy citrus, grapefruit and honeydew melon flavors are full-bodied, intense and concentrated, with a pleasant earthy edge that builds depth and complexity on the finish. Drink now through 2013. 1,940 cases made." -JL  91 points

Connoisseur's Guide to California Wine, April 2009
"Showing the same obvious ripeness and the extra oak richness for which its pricey Pahlmeyer cellarmates are known, this latest Jayson Chardonnay is nicely focused on keenly defined, apple-like fruit even though unstinting in oak.  It gets a welcome lift in brightness and life from a rush of last-minute acid, and, while it is always a big and fairly powerful wine, it stops short of being too much of a good thing."  90 points
