Fifty percent of the 1999 Chardonnay Sonoma (65,000 cases) is fermented in American oak. It possesses a Maconnais-like character that reveals subdued oak and prominent fruit (citrus and other tropical fruit), medium body, and a clean, refreshing finish. Drink it over the next 12-18 months. Tel. (707) 833-4666; Fax (707) 833-6534

A likable, easy-drinking Chard that won’t bust your budget, with plenty of ripe flavors and winemaker bells and whistles. It’s got spicy, vanilla-accented peach aromas, and while it drinks a bit thin, it’s got some class and style. The finish lasts for a pretty long time, with oaky, spicy flavors. This is a good value, especially from a top winery. Best Buy.——S.H.(5/1/2001)—— 87
