The tightly-knit, relatively closed 2004 Chardonnay Richard Dinner Vineyard Cuvee Agustina is certainly outstanding, but currently is playing it close to the vest, and I could not coax a lot out of it. While it is obviously an outstanding, rich effort, the Walker Station and Ulises Valdez cuvees are revealing more personality at present. The Cuvee Agustina will undoubtedly last 5-6 years.
