A fine Chardonnay for the price. Soft and buttery upon entry, it shows good balance in the midpalate, with the butter blended with fresh apple and lime, and set against enough juicy acidity to give it definition.——P.G.(7/1/2011)—— 89

The blend includes 5% Viognier, a nice touch from winemaker Joy Anderson, as it adds both spice and lift to the Chardonnay. Lime butter and caramel run through the veins of this supremely smooth and soft offering. ——P.G.(3/1/2010)—— 88

As is the custom, the blend includes 5% Viognier, adding some floral scents that lift the aromas. The 2007 is saturated with a candy/caramel flavor, not unpleasant, but quite prominent. It is not, however, flabby or over-ripe; the buttery flavors work smoothly with the pristine apple, pear and melon-flavored fruit, and the wine has a seamless proportionality that lingers into the finish.——P.G.(5/1/2009)—— 88

Tropical fruit with a pineapply edge to it throughout the nose and on the palate. There’s a pleasing, plump assertiveness to the middle, and lingering apple/cinnamon spice through the finish.——P.G.(6/1/2000)—— 85
