The 2009 Chardonnay Oak Knoll District is a pretty, poised wine with terrific energy and focus. Mint, tangerine blossoms and juicy apricots are some of the notes that flow from the glass. This is a fairly restrained, elegant style that impresses for its sense of harmony. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016. Tel. (866) 895-7696

The 2007 Chardonnay from Trefethen’s estate vineyard in Oak Knoll, in the southern part of Napa, displays notes of pear, lemon blossom, hints of honeysuckle and tropical fruit, a subtle use of wood, and a medium-bodied, fleshy mouthfeel.
