Expert Reviews

96 Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2004

($55) Pale green-gold color. Complex, leesy aromas of peach, apricot, lime and flowers. Hugely rich and penetrating, with intriguing hazelnutty yeast autolysis character. Offers an extraordinary combination of extract and depth of fruit on the one hand and lift and energy on the other. This has a tactile peppery, minerally quality that carries through onto the palate-staining, extremely long finish. From 33-year-old vines. These chardonnays went from barrel into stainless steel tank in September of 2003 and were bottled three months later.
