Bone dry and high in acidity, an austere and elegant Chardonnay that offers complex interest to those who can recognize it. Shows a mineral and steel profile, with lemon and lime fruit. Let it warm up in the glass.——S.H.(5/1/2011)—— 90

Bone dry, minerally and floral, this Chardonnay has lemondrop flavors subtlely enriched with spicy oak. It’s a streamlined, elegant wine, crisply acidic and moderately ageworthy. Now through 2012. ——S.H.(10/1/2009)—— 91

Here’s a wonderfully balanced Chardonnay. It’s rich, ripe and oaky, with crisp cool-climate acidity boosting the pineapple and papaya fruit, but there’s also a mineral, diesel note throughout that adds complexing interest and firmness. Should hold for five years.——S.H.(10/1/2007)—— 92
