The 2008 Chardonnay, the estate’s most elegant, crisp, least wooded style to date, offers up notes of orange rind, lemon blossom, and apple skin in its medium-bodied, fresh, lively personality. It should be consumed over the next 1-2 years. Tel. (707) 433-8281; Fax (707) 433-5174

Slightly sweet, with simple apple and mango juice flavors and a veneer of oak-like vanillins and caramel. Crisp acidity helps to make the finish clean. ——S.H.(3/1/2010)—— 82
