There’s no oak on this beautiful Chardonnay, but it’s so rich, you won’t even notice. Enhanced with crisp acidity and minerality, it’s potent in lime, citron, green apple, pear and honeysuckle flavors, with a vanilla sweetness. ——S.H.(9/1/2011)—— 92

With no oak, there’s nothing here but natural grape flavors of oranges, limes, green apples, pears and golden mangoes. The acidity is high and racy. Ready now, but don’t drink it too cold.——S.H.(5/1/2011)—— 89

A terrific Chardonnay, brilliantly structured, with a crisply acidic minerality undergirding rich flavors of pineapple brulee, ripe white peach, gingerbread and creamy lees. Addictively good despite being entirely unoaked. Now through 2011.——S.H.(2/1/2009)—— 93

This unoaked Chard is bright and exuberant in ripe green fruits, such as Granny Smith apples, kiwis, limes, table grapes and mangoes. Acidity in this cool vintage is very high, and when I tasted it, it still had some fizzy fermentation. Technically this is a flaw, but it didn’t interefere with my enjoyment.——S.H.(12/1/2007)—— 87
