The 2004 Chardonnay Tinaquaic Vineyard exhibits copious tropical fruits as well as hints of wood smoke and orange blossoms. Rich, textured, and medium to full-bodied, this is a pure, well-balanced Chardonnay to enjoy over the next 2-3 years. As the back label says, this wine was bottled “delicately ... without fining or filtration.” Bravo to proprietors and winemakers Bill Wathen and Dick Dore. Tel. (805) 937-4251
