The light yellow-colored 2001 Chardonnay Lorenzo Vineyard possesses a big, sweet nose of lemon oils, orange marmalade, a hint of lime, and a striking minerality. Full-bodied, intensely flavorful, and buttressed by fine, crisp acidity, it should drink well for 5-6 years, possibly longer. Tel. (707) 833-0053; Fax (707) 833-1164

Firm in its steely texture, with bright citrusy acids and a melange of fruity flavors ranging from sweet apples through peaches and pears, with a tease of pineapple puree. This lush wine has a rich, creamy texture, and finishes with butterscotchy caramel. ——S.H.(5/1/2004)—— 92
