A slight change of gears from the ’05 Chardonnay... this time around the wine fermented in partially new French oak barrels (for approximately three weeks) then was racked into stainless steel tanks for about four months aging without malolactic fermentation. Still showing a bright citrus and tropical fruit character with pleasing minerality, this wine is a little more plump than our ’05, more akin to a Montrachet than a Chablis.

Try it with pan-seared fish filets in butter sauce; pasta with prosciutto, fresh herbs, and green peas; spicy grilled shrimp; or chicken crepes with bechamel sauce.

Wine Enthusiast Starts with an opulent, inviting aroma of smoky honey, vanilla, tangerines, Meyer lemons, yellow apricots, green apples and minerals. In the mouth, the flavors are very similar—an explosion of fruits, spices and toast. Just a tremendous wine, but for all the volume and complexity, it’s completely balanced. Score: 94. —Steve Heimoff, September 01, 2008.
