The 1997 Chardonnay Upper Barn (565 cases) was aged in 100% French oak for 14 months prior to bottling. It exhibits honeyed lemon and buttery fruit, sweet, toasty pineapple and honeysuckle-like flavors, a fleshy texture, and an elegant, moderately long finish. This Chardonnay should drink well for 2-3 years, possibly longer. (release date 3/00)Tel. (707) 433-9000; Fax (707) 433-9469
