(made from the fruit of younger vines in the Bien Nacido and Solomon Hills vineyards): Bright yellow. Highly fragrant scents of fresh orchard and citrus fruits, along with suave floral and spice nuances. Juicy and focused on the palate, offering sappy orange and honeysuckle flavors and sneaky spiciness. The brisk finish features very good cut and snap.

Really Nice Chardonnay!

The Tanzer and Parker reviews seem right on, and I think this will improve with age. Very, very nice, and I'm still looking for a 4.5 rating! This may be the best domestic Chardonnay you've offered.
bad surprise

Loved the Ojai Bien Nacido so I jumped on this offering. BIG MISTAKE. The closest thing I have tasted to this is the "new wine" served outside Vienna. Tart, no complexity, absolutely nothing special.
