The 2009 Kapnias "Zygos Vineyard" is a Chardonnay from 27-year-old vines, oak aged in a mixture of new and second pass oak for 8 months. Well marked by oak, it nonetheless shows some brightness and precision as well, giving it some personality and vibrancy. It is rather charming and friendly, although it does fade a bit with air and is always prominently flavored by the oak. Drink now-2014.
