The 2006 Chardonnays follow suit, with the 2006 Chardonnay Russian River beautifully floral, with plenty of honeysuckle, citrus oil, mineral, and hazelnut. It is ripe, fleshy, and altogether a delicious example of this varietal that should drink nicely for 4-5 years. Proprietor Kerry Murphy and his winemaker, Andy Smith, are doing sensational work in the cool-climate areas of the Russian River. This has become one of my favorite tastings of the year, and not only are their Chardonnays and Pinot world-class, but they have extended their brilliance to both Viognier and Syrah. This is a winery that is clearly on top of its game and pushing all the right buttons in terms of quality.Previously recommended: 2004 Chardonnay Chloe (95), 2004 Chardonnay Clare (95+), 2004 Chardonnay Isobel (94+), 2004 Pinot Noir Aidan (89), 2004 Pinot Noir Finn (94), 2004 Pinot Noir Ryan (91), 2004 Syrah Eddie’s Patch (93), 2005 Syrah Jack Robert’s Run (95).(Not yet released)Tel.
