With savory acidity and a nice, dry finish, this three-year-old Chardonnay tastes as fresh and rich as a brand-new release. It has pineapple, tangerine, lemon, lime and apricot flavors, enhanced with the vanilla and buttered toast of oak. Drink now for sheer opulence.——S.H.(11/1/2011)—— 87

Very dry, very crisp in acids, with exotic flavors of quinces, Asian pears, papayas, green apples, figs, and savory spices, with a light coat of smoky oak. This Chard is also notable for its finely crafted structure. You can taste a stony flintiness, like wet rocks on a cool rainy day, in the finish.——S.H.(7/1/2008)—— 92
