A mineral-dominated, crisp, fruit-laden, subtly wooded effort is the 3,000-case cuvee of Dehlinger’s 2001 Chardonnay Estate. Readers looking for a food-friendly Chardonnay that spends 12 months in oak (you’d never know that by tasting it) should check out this 2001. It offers citrus oil, white peach, and orange characteristics in a crisp, medium to full-bodied, steely style. It should drink well for 2-3 years. Tel. (707) 823-2378; Fax (707) 823-0918
