Superrich, made in the modern style of exceptionally ripe fruit and lots of oak. Floods the mouth with pineapple, pear, green apple butter, buttered toast and creme brulee flavors, accented with brisk acidity.——S.H.(2/1/2011)—— 92

Racy acidity characterizes this ripely fruity, oaky wine. It’s strong in pineapple, apricot and tangerine cream flavors, while plenty of new French oak contributes a spicy, vanilla-infused smokiness. A bit obvious, but certainly a delicious, captivating Chardonnay.——S.H.(11/1/2006)—— 91
