Brilliant exposition of Chardonnay from a cool climate. There’s a brisk, clean, minerally moutheel, brimming with acidity, that frames exotic flavors of ripe tropical fruits, spices, peaches and vanilla-infused cream, and a finish that turns to pure apricot nectar. Just delicious. ——S.H.(10/1/2006)—— 93
