The well-balanced 2000 Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vineyard possesses high alcohol as well as low acidity. The fruit comes across as ripe, lush, and attractive. It should drink well for 2-3 years. I suspect acid freaks will rate this wine several points higher, as elevated acidity is de rigeur. That said, I enjoyed the purity and quality of its fruit, as well as the fact that it provides a refreshing taste.Tel. (805) 688-8554
