The 1996 Chardonnay is a non-malolactic, barrel-fermented Chardonnay with an excellent honeyed citrus/ripe pear-scented nose, crisp acidity, and plenty of primary fruit aromas. While it will undoubtedly age well, I would suggest drinking it over the next 1-2 years.Tel. and Fax (707) 963-8339; Fax (707) 963-0232
