2009 Valhalla Chardonnay is a more serious, age-worthy proposition, giving intense notes of toast, roasted nuts, yeast, sulfides, warm apricots, fresh figs and some ginger. Crisp, rich, concentrated and full, there’s a wonderfully nervy tension in the mid-palate and a long minerally finish. It should be at its best from 2012 to 2016.
