Deeply fruity, intense and concentrated, with a mix of vanilla, ripe pear, citrus and floral notes. Gains velocity on the finish, where the flavors fan out, giving this a creamy flavor. Drink now through 2010. 179 cases made. -JL

The 2005 Chardonnay Clone 76 offers up subtle notions of honeysuckle, cold steel, hazelnut, and orange marmalade. This ambitiously made effort possesses serious concentration, nicely integrated wood, and a 3-4 year window of drinkability.Tel. (805) 737-6222; Fax (805) 737-6923

It must be the clone that lends a slightly heavy, earthy weight and flavor to this Chard, which is softer and more rustic than Foley’s other ’05s. The pineapple, lemon, guava and nectarine have a stewed or baked pie-filling quality. Quite good, but not really my favorite of the lineup.——S.H.(4/1/2007)—— 88

Ripe and viscous, bordering on cloying, with honeyed pear, pineapple, fig and apricot flavors that pick up a spicy hazelnut and nutmeg character. Drink now. 167 cases made. -JL
