The 1996 Chardonnay Marcella's Vineyard (named after his wife) is an excellent, nearly outstanding wine with wonderful purity, copious amounts of buttery tropical fruit, nicely-integrated toasty oak, adequate acidity, and lemon butter/orange blossom notes for additional complexity. The texture is succulent, and the wine delicious. It should drink well for several more years.Tel. (805) 688-1545; Fax (805) 686-1130
