Produced from 5th leaf fruit harvested from Alberg’s new vineyard site, the 2004 Chardonnay Stillwater Creek Vineyard is an excellent value. Loads of yellow fruits are intermingled with ripe pears in this effort’s aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied and suave, it is rich, silky-textured, thick, and supple. Drink this expressive beauty over the next 2-3 years.
