Made from Burgundian clone #76, the 2001 Chardonnay BJ Ranch Reserve is reminiscent of a Puligny-Montrachet premier cru. The light straw color with a greenish hue is accompanied by aromas of honeyed citrus, subtle smoke, a steely minerality, and medium to full-bodied, luscious flavors buttressed by zesty acidity. This still young, vibrant beauty should drink well for 4-5 years. Tel. (805) 686-9922
