Quite oaky on the nose, showing lots of caramel and butterscotch flavors on the palate, this Chardonnay is anchored by its apple and peach flavors. It opens up nicely with some breathing time; decanting would not be out of order. — (11/1/2012) —89

Floral highlights accent the nose, leading into a crisp and textural wine with pear skin and citrus dominating. This falls on the steely side of Chardonnay styles, offering texture and accents of mineral for added interest. — (7/1/2012) —89

As with the last vintage, this has been sourced from Lewis, Willard and Conner Lee vineyards. Scents of coconut and other tropical fruits lead into flavors hinting at banana cream, lime, white peach, and papaya. The finish brings in brioche, caramel and medium toast. A yum-fest. ——P.G.(10/1/2010)—— 91

Barrel fermented, soft and ripe with bright fruits, especially banana, but also pear, apricot, peach and citrus. Rich and creamy, it combines sweet barrel toast with a hint of honey. Lush through the finish, which adds caramel and cinnamon toast.——P.G.(10/1/2010)—— 90
