The 1999 Chardonnay McCrea Vineyard (2,000 cases) exhibits an intense liquid minerality, notes of white currants, a full-bodied personality with citrus oils and white flowers, and a remarkably well-delineated finish. Still tightly knit but concentrated and extremely Burgundian, it needs a couple of years of aging, and should last for a decade.
