The 1996 Chardonnay Canoe Ridge Estate Vineyard has a Chablis-like nose and a flavor character reminiscent of Meursault. It exhibits minerally, smoky, leesy scents intermingled with sweet white fruits. This medium-to-full-bodied, oily-textured offering is well-structured and filled with almonds, hazelnuts, and pears. Projected maturity: now-2005+. Fax: 425-488-4657
