A fancy Chardonnay, whose 50% new French oak gives a delicious layer of buttered toast and vanilla, but is in keeping with the volume of the underlying wine. Made from grapes grown in some of the best vineyards in eastern Carneros, it’s rich in pineapple, lemon, lime and green apples, with a honeyed finish. ——S.H.(11/1/2011)—— 91
