Wine Spectator - Top 30 Pinot Wineries
Sometimes even producers are perplexed by what a vintage has to offer. During the 2004 growing season, Chasseur winemaker and owner Bill Hunter feared the worst during a September heat wave that hammered Sonoma with 100 degree temperatures. “I thought it would be a washout. But then about a month after harvest, when tasting the wines, I was very pleased,” he says."More Info

Wine Spectator Praise for Pinot Noirs
"I’d put the 2004 Chasseur Pinots in the run-don’t-walk camp if you want to buy any. They are further proof of how far and how fast this grape has come in California. They’re excellent wines--well crafted, exquisitely balanced--and they show that Chasseur does what it takes to make distinctive wines, bending the styles to suit the grape and the winemaker’s preference." - James Laube Unfined, Wine SpectatorMore Info

Bill Hunter - A Top Winemaker in California
"Chardonnay- and pinot noir-maker, Bill Hunter of Chasseur winery, whose latest efforts have finished at the very top of my tastings, also rates highly with me. Only the fact that he has just now expanded his line, and many of his wines have only been seen for a couple of vintages, keeps Hunter from rating directly alongside Ramey and Hobbs for top honors." - Column by Charles Olken, Inside Bay AreaMore Info

Taking Sides in the Butter Battle - Wall Street Journal
To our surprise, this is a question we have been asked with increasing frequency over the past six months: Where can I get a buttery American Chardonnay? Or, as Jacqueline Jenkins of Riverside, Calif., put it: "The long-lost buttery Chardonnay of yesteryear -- oh, how we miss them." The reason we're surprised is that "buttery" is a word that was just about banned from public wine discourse several years ago. The fact that readers feel comfortable enough to ask about these wines again is, we think, a trend in the making.More Info
