The 2012 Cellar Selection Chardonnay shows pronounced notes of butterscotch and toasty oak over a core of apple pie filling, warm peaches and mangoes. Medium-bodied and a bit dilute in the mid-palate, it finishes with a moderate persistence of woody, buttery flavors. Drink it now. Imported by Ste. Michelle Estate, Woodinville, WA.

Aged for 10 months on yeast lees, the 2010 Cellar Selection Marlborough Chardonnay is scented of ripe apples, yeast extract toast and cedar with touches of orange peel and cashews. Medium bodied, it has a good amount of fruit in the mouth with a suggestion of creaminess to the texture and refreshing acid, finishing long and savory. Mature now, it should keep through 2014+.
