Expert Reviews

90 Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2011

Bright yellow.  Musky aromas of peach skin, yellow plum and lemongrass, with suave floral and spice notes in the background.  Pliant pit fruit flavors are given spine by tangy acidity and pick up notes of anise and honeysuckle on the back half.  Shows good depth and conveys an impression of extract without excess weight.  This will be very flexible with food.

Powerful consumer interest in California wine is driven by two major factors. The more obvious reason is that California's best wines, which come from grapes grown in...

Chardonnay

The best Chardonnays in the world continue to arrive from the region where the grape first emerged: the chalk, clay, and limestone vineyards of Burgundy and Chablis. While the origins of the grape were disputed for many years, with some speculating that the grape came all the way from the Middle East, DNA researchers at the University of California-Davis proved in 1999 that Chardonnay actually developed...
