The wines of Bob Lindquist, the owner/winemaker of Qupe, continue to go from strength to strength. His current offerings are the best he has yet produced. This is a winery dedicated to the rich, bold personalities of Rhone Valley varietals. I preferred the 1992 Marsanne-Los Olivos Vineyard to the winery's 1991 Chardonnay-Sierra Madre Reserve. The Chardonnay comes across as aggressively oaky, with the wood dominating the fruit. Additionally, I detected some greenness to the wood. Readers who have an insatiable thirst for vanillin oak will enjoy it more than I did. Tel. (805) 688-2477
