This is a best barrel selection from Sleepy Hollow Vineyard, in the Santa Lucia Highlands. Only 430 cases were produced. It’s a tremendous Chardonnay, just huge in the white Burgundy mode: ripe tropical fruit, new oak, lees, unfined and unfiltered. Right now, it’s a little gangly, like an adolescent who’s growing too fast. But we know this wine knits together as it ages. Best 2007–2011. ——S.H.(12/31/2006)—— 95
