The 2010 Chardonnay is an unoaked style that gives notes of ripe peaches, spiced apple slices and white pepper. Medium bodied with medium-high acid, it provides just enough apple and stone fruit flavor in the mouth, finishing medium-long. Drinking now, it should keep through 2013. Importer: Select Fine Wines, Traverse City, MI

Opulent, tropical fruit and zesty citrus edge. Signs of development. Expressive, honeyed, vibrant fruit yet shy minerality.

A no-oak Chard, with green-apple, peach and grilled-almond notes, and a strong herbal or medicinal streak. Crisp and clean, has real character. Drink this well-priced wine now. Best Buy.——S.H.(8/1/1999)—— 87
