Aged in French oak, there’s some captivating smoke, toast and butterscotch aromas on this medium-bodied Chard. The palate is on the leaner side without a lot of persistence or depth, but it’s an elegant wine for everyday.——A.I.(4/1/2011)—— 84

This is a wine that takes some time to warm up to—on first sniff there’s a somewhat sulfuric, rustic aroma to it. On the palate, a viscous mouthfeel feels a bit heavy, but then there’s the fruit, which exhibits good classic Chardonnay flavors and is balanced by elegant oak. A good choice for casual sipping.——S.K.(4/1/2008)—— 83
