Winemaker/proprietor Russ Raney continues to exhibit considerable talent with both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Virtually all of his wines go in the bottle unfiltered, which explains in part the rich, chewy texture and length Raney achieves. The two Chardonnay releases include a spicy, rich, buttery, hazelnut-scented 1991 with good ripeness and a moderate finish.
