All the buttered toast, vanilla bean, apricot jam and pineapple creme brulee you could want is here, but this lovely Chardonnay is lifted above the ordinary by a minerality that gives it a refreshing tang. Crisp acidity also helps to provide structure to the richness. Will have a short life as evidenced by some overripeness on the finish, so enjoy now. ——S.H.(6/1/2010)—— 88
