The 2021 Chardonnay has a tropical fruit salad nose that leads the way to a tropical, light and plump (very friendly) palate. Uncomplicated and soft. Drink it soon.

The crisp, zesty 2019 Chardonnay features notes of vanilla custard layered over a bed of pineapple and citrus. It's medium-bodied, with just enough generosity and oak influence to let you know it's Chardonnay without being overblown, finishing tight and tart. Drink it over the next couple of years.

The 2014 Chardonnay has a peaches and cream nose with a touch of marzipan. The medium-bodied palate is creamy, spicy and has a medium finish.

30% of the 2011 Chardonnay was barrel fermented in new French oak and it was aged in oak for 3 months with batonnage daily post primary fermentation. It offers aromas of ripe golden delicious apples, melons and warm peaches with a toasty / yeasty undercurrent and a whiff of almonds. Medium bodied with good concentration and some silkiness to the texture, it has racy acid and a long finish. Drink it now to 2015. Importer: Winebow; www.winebow.com

Kangarilla Road’s 2008 Chardonnay was 30% barrel-fermented in new French oak where it remained for several months with frequent lees stirring. The aromatics display baking spices, white peach, and tropical notes followed by a relatively light-bodied, elegant style of Chardonnay with a creamy texture and well-integrated oak. Drink this excellent value over the next 2-3 years. Importer: Click Wine Group, Seattle, WA; tel. (800) 859-0689
