Juicy, freshly pressed apple flavors in this dry, medium-bodied Chardonnay gain savory components amid layers of toasted wood, coconut and sawdust. Bright acidity and hints of fresh grass and herbs add refinement and refreshment. ——A.I.(2/1/2012)—— 85

There’s quite a generous amount of oak on this medium-weight white, but it’s well done in the style. Butter, vanilla and pear are the opening notes followed by caramel on the viscous palate. Nutty, short-to-medium finish. Drink now to one year.——W.E.(5/1/2010)—— 86

A round, full character with ample layers of creamy spice and balanced acid recommend this elegant, more traditional Chardonnay from the Finger Lakes. The mouthfeel is full but poised, and the finish long.——S.K.(4/1/2008)—— 87
