The 2003 Vega Sindoa Chardonnay is very California-like in style. While this cuvee has been borderline woody in the past, the winery has gotten the wood regime under control, resulting in a light gold-colored Chardonnay with good underlying natural acidity, plenty of tropical fruits, honeysuckle, ripe apples, and a hint of background vanilla. Like its sibling, the Viura-Chardonnay, this is a wine to drink over the next 8-12 months. Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates From Spain, Dedham, MA; tel. (781) 461-5767
