Like Stonier’s Pinot Noirs, the Chardonnay is amply oaked, although the Chardonnay seems to be able to handle it better. Movie popcorn scents waft from the glass, but there’s also plenty of peach and tangerine fruit to support the oak. Long and citrusy on the finish, picking up hints of butter. This is good now, but may be slightly better next year.——J.C.(6/1/2007)—— 88
