are starting to recognize Clarksburg, for growing some amazingly flavorful Chenin Blanc and Albarino, but if it’s Chardonnay they want to grow, too, this wine won’t help make the case. From the Wilson Vineyard, it’s sweet and uncomplicated and tasting a bit burnt. ——V.B.(9/1/2011)—— 83

Made in an off-dry style, this Chardonnay shows sugary flavors of pineapples, peaches, pears and vanilla extract. It’s a simple wine with clean acidity.——S.H.(12/31/2009)—— 84

Oaky and simple, with flavors of peaches, buttered toast and cream. Turns vegetal in the finish.——S.H.(11/1/2009)—— 83
