The barrel-fermented 2015 Chardonnay offers a lovely blend of oak and fruit, balancing each other out in their citrus and vanilla intensities. Toasted grain, white peach, ample weight and texture on the palate, all these point to a high-quality effort that should please any Chardonnay drinker. Yum!

The straightforward 1999 Chardonnay reveals high oak aromas, but the wood is better integrated on the palate. Lemon blossom and ripe honeyed apple-like fruit are presented in a medium-bodied format. Drink it over the next year. Importer: Peter Weygandt, Weygandt-Metzler, Unionville, PA; tel. (610) 486-0800
