The 2002 Chardonnay offers evolved notes of butterscotch and caramel along with loads of tropical fruits on the palate, good freshness, and fine underlying acidity. It was given full malolactic in both barrel and tank as well as three months of exposure to wood. Drink it over the next 1-2 years. This offering will not be particularly long-lived, but it possesses a pure flavor, good texture, and offers a considerable value.Importer: Ken Onish & John Gorman, Southern Starz, Huntington Beach, CA; tel.
