Starts off with scents of apples and citrus, and maintains that fruit-forward focus all the way through. It’s medium-bodied, with a slightly creamy midpalate and a touch of lemon custard on the finish.——J.C.(6/1/2008)—— 87

The 2004 Southlands Unwooded Chardonnay is fruitier, riper, and more interesting than the Proprietary White. Notes of tropical fruit nicely buttressed by good acidity bring to mind the unoaked Chardonnays from the Maconnais region of France. Importer: Jane Delaney, The Ravensvale Group, Greenwich, CT; tel.
