Zesty acidity gives the perfect lift to this rich Chardonnay. It brims with flavors of pineapples, mangoes, limes, buttered toast, vanilla and cinnamon spice.——S.H.(12/1/2011)—— 90

A rich, full-bodied, oaky Chardonnay, with the pleasing texture of cream. It’s spicy and very flavorful in pears, mangoes, vanilla custard and buttered toast. Could be a little livelier, though.——S.H.(12/1/2011)—— 88

Lots to like in this Chardonnay. It’s enormously rich in pineapple, mango and lemon meringue pie flavors, with vanilla and buttered toast from oak. Shows the smooth dryness and crisp acidity of Bien Nacido. A rich, savory wine to drink now.——S.H.(5/1/2011)—— 90

Custardy and yeasty, with tropical fruit, Meyer lemon and mineral flavors, accented with a strong taste of slightly bitter lees. ——S.H.(10/1/2009)—— 88
