The 2009 Reserve Chardonnay displays a little reduction to begin, giving way to a moderate intensity of pineapple, apricot and toast aromas with some meal. Crisp, full bodied, this is clearly a well made Chardonnay but it is slightly wanting in texture and mid-palate concentration to merit a higher score. The finish is medium-long. Drink it now through 2014. USA importer: Empson (USA) Inc.
