The 2013 Chardonnay Reserve comes from Chehalem and Dundee Hills and sees 10% new French oak and 100% malolactic, lees stirred weekly for six months and racked after 12 months. It has a composed bouquet with vanilla tinged citrus fruit, shaved almond and nectarine, lively and quite exuberant in the glass. The palate is fresh on the entry, rounded in the mouth with hints of coconut and white chocolate tincturing the citrus fruit. I would have liked a little more tension towards the finish, nevertheless it displays commendable length and balance; it will have wide commercial appeal.
