Deep gold in color. Strong nose with red and yellow apples, oak, vanilla, pears and spices. Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs. Dry on the palate with apples, light citrus, honeydew, oak, marzipan, vanilla and Indian spices. Tangy finish with limes and almonds. This is a tasty, 7 year old, Oaky Chardonnay from Sonoma County. This Single Vineyard is spicy and entertaining. Still rich on the palate, but some of fruits are a little faded by now. I really liked the nose, as it is showing lots of elegance. I enjoyed it, although an oaky Chardonnay is not my style. Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. Will continue to drink nicely in the next couple of years. Barrel fermented and aged in French oak barrels for 16 months. 14.6% alcohol by volume. 90 points. $68 (at release).

Deep golden in color, with a yellow tint. On the nose citrus, limes, yellow apples, spices, light oak, vanilla and black pepper. Medium bodied with medium plus acidity and long fat legs. Dry on the palate with limes, grapefruits, citrus, red apples, pears, light vegetables, spices, oak, light vanilla, light herbs and black pepper. Tangy finish with bitter almonds. This is a nice Oaky Chardonnay from Sonoma County. Rich and fierce, yet elegant. Tangy, spicy and interesting. Needs 30 minutes to open up properly and relax. Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food. Spicy with nice complexity. The high alcohol is not noticeable, so you better watch out. This 4 year old Single Vineyard still feels fresh and young, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years. Barrel fermented and aged in French oak barrels for 16 months. 14.6% alcohol by volume. 90 points. $68.
