An excellent value in California Chardonnay, Calera’s 2002 Central Coast Chardonnay offers a light green/gold color as well as attractive aromas of honeysuckle and white flowers, medium body, little oak, and a pleasant finish. It is ideal for drinking over the next 1-3 years. Barrel samples of the 2002s were all impressive, but these wines are not yet in the marketplace. Approximate ratings include Selleck (92-94), Jensen (90-94), Reed (90-92), Mills (89-91).Tel. (831) 637-9170

Full-bodied and dry, this 3-year-old Chard is picking up dried fruit notes, although it’s still rich in peaches and pineapples. The high acidity has carried the wine this far, but it should be consumed now. ——S.H.(12/15/2005)—— 86
