Wine Spectator
"90 pts ... Ripe and full-bodied, with yellow apple, melon, peach and fig flavors that all glide over butter and grilled hazelnut notes. The long, juicy finish has lots in reserve."

Winemaker's Notes
"This stunning single vineyard Chardonnay takes its name from a row of five pine trees that line the vineyard�s border. A supremely elegant, complex, and ageworthy offering, this benchmark South African white rivals Burgundy�s top bottlings. It displays an intense, smoke-tinged minerality and concentrated flavors of pear, hazelnut, and quince interwoven with nuances of toasted nuts, pain grill�, and spice."
