Pretty simple in pineapple, orange and peach flavors, like a fruit juice drink you buy at the supermarket. Good acidity provides balance, but the wine remains straightforward.——S.H.(11/1/2010)—— 86

Smoky, creamy and ultrasmooth in vanilla bean sweetness, this is an absolutely delicious Chardonnay. It’s so forward in pineapples, peaches, pears, green apples and honey, with lots of buttered toast, but is also crisply balanced in citrusy acidity. A real treat now.——S.H.(12/31/2009)—— 93
