This is an elegant Chardonnay that will pair well with upscale fare, like scallops in a curry cream sauce. It’s forward in ripe pineapple, pear, peach and lime flavors, with a smoky, creme brulee richness that finishes in a swirl of spicy vanilla and smoky oak. Seems at its best now.——S.H.(12/31/2009)—— 92
