Aromas of apple and tropical fruit on this rich Chardonnay lead into vanilla and honey on the palate. The wine is full and opulent in the mouth but not overwrought. Good balance and a lingering finish add to the appeal.——S.K.(10/1/2007)—— 86

The scents of toasted nuts and lemon furniture polish don’t mesh all that harmoniously, but this wine still boasts enough crisp, lemon and grapefruit flavors to make up for it. Slightly oily in the mouth, with a finish that veers back toward the oaky side. ——J.C.(9/1/2005)—— 83
