The very Chablis-like 2003 Chardonnay is primarily from the estate and not put through malolactic, with about 20% of it aged in stainless steel and the other 80% barrel-fermented and aged in neutral wood. A wine with good lemon oil notes intermixed with a hint of pear, white peach, and orange rind, this nicely textured, crisp, minerally Chardonnay has good acidity and a very nicely textured, zesty mouthfeel. Drink it over the next 1-2 years. This beautiful winery, located in Spring Mountain in the Mayacamas Range, seems to be making the best wine of its 25-year history, and much of the credit must go to the tireless efforts of Michael Keenan who has done so much to resurrect the fortunes of this winery.

Simple and earthy, with peach, pear and sweet oak flavors, and a slightly rough mouthfeel. Finishes with an awkward sweetness. ——S.H.(6/1/2005)—— 84
