The 2006 Marina Cveti? Chardonnay offers up ripe, tropical fruit, butterscotch, spices and French oak in a fairly rich style. The purity and depth of the fruit is striking, I just wonder what a slight reduction in new oak might do here. Clean notes of minerality frame the delicate finish. The estate’s Chardonnay has all of the raw ingredients to be a spectacular wine. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2016.
