With appealing pineapple, orange, pear and green apple flavors enhanced with the vanilla and buttered toast of oak, this is a delicious Chardonnay. Its bright acidity makes it clean and mouthwatering. It’s as good as the winery’s more expensive Chards, making it a relative bargain. Production was 4,200 cases.——S.H.(8/1/2011)—— 92

Very forward in fruit, offering a powerful wave of pineapples, oranges, lemons, limes and peaches. Fortunately, all this richness is dry, and brightened with crisp, tart acidity. Suggests a rich lobster or shrimp risotto.——S.H.(9/1/2010)—— 90
