Monterey grapes star in this juicy wine, with its bright flavors of tropical and citrus fruits, steely acidity, and spicy notes of toasty oak and vanilla. The yummy flavors float in a creamy-smooth texture. Taft Street has long been known as an overlooked find. Its Chardonnays have consistently scored well in our tastings.——S.H.(11/15/2003)—— 87

Melon and tangerine aromas. Citrusy, racy mouthfeel displaying good sweet apple and mandarin orange flavors. Very fruity from stem to stern, but one of the nicest “sweeties” we tasted. Pleasing and easy to like.——W.E.(6/1/2000)—— 87
