Outstanding, with real class, the 2011 Chardonnay Oliver’s Vineyard spent 15 months in 20% new French oak. It offers up notions of apple pie, citrus blossom and assorted floral nuances to go with a medium-bodied, layered profile that gains in richness with air. Bright, fresh and clean acidity shines on the finish and it should have 4-5 years of prime drinking. Drink now-2018. These knockout efforts are made by Brian Talley and were some of the most impressive Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs I tasted during my more than two week trip through the central coast. In addition to their estate offerings, their Bishop’s Peak releases reviewed here come from purchased grapes throughout the central coast and offer good typicity and drinkability for not much buck.
