The 2008 Marina Cveti? Chardonnay is another decidedly rich, extroverted wine. Orange jam, honeysuckle, mint, spices and butter all emerge from this layered, intense wine. Readers who enjoy big, voluptuous Chardonnays will find a lot to admire. Personally I would like to see a little more varietal character. Deeply spiced aromas and flavors inform the persistent finish. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2016.
