The delicious 2006 Chardonnays include their least expensive offering, the 2006 Chardonnay Edna Valley. Crisp lemon blossom, pear, and honeysuckle notes along with a subtle dosage of wood are present in this medium-bodied, zesty white. Drink it over the next 2-3 years. The unquestionable Edna Valley reference point for Burgundy’s varietals is Talley Vineyards. Their wines eclipse any other wines made from these varietals in this region.Tel. and Fax (805) 489-0446

Shows that distinctive Edna Valley acidity and pure, laser-like Meyer lemon and lime fruit, while new oak and considerable sur lie aging adds richer notes of cream and yeast. Drink now for its vibrant youthfulness.——S.H.(9/1/2008)—— 88
