The stainless-steel aged 2002 Chardonnay is not a complex wine, but the aromas are ripe and sweet, the energy and crispness on the palate quite perceptible.

The 1997 Chardonnay is a boldly-styled, barrel-fermented effort revealing little evidence of wood in its mineral, orange, zesty citrus, and peach blossom bouquet. It offers good acidity, medium to full body, and an excellent, concentrated finish. Drink this impressive Chardonnay over the next 2-3 years. The consultant for this wine is Roberto Cipresso.Importer: A Christopher Cannan Selection, Europvin USA, Watertown, MA; tel. (617) 924-7620
