The impressive 2013 Chardonnay Hope’s Cuvée displays a lighter green-ish hue to its color, and it backs off somewhat on obvious oak. It reveals copious notes of citrus oil and orange blossom, dense fruit as well as serious concentration. This sensational, full-throttle, Montrachet-like Chardonnay should provide plenty of pleasure over the next 5-6 years.

Complex and centered on a mix of green pear, apple and citrus flavors, with lemon-lime scents and a juicy texture that's a touch pithy now. Drink now. 265 cases made. –JL

A full-figured cuvée from older vines, this wine is estate-grown, bottled and left unfiltered, a grand concoction of butter, baked pear and crème br?lée. Given almost two years in 50% new French oak, it's intended to offer richness and concentration, and does it well.
