Aroma: It has a rich nose, with hints of toast and vanilla as well as aromas of citrus fruit.
Taste: Full body with concentrated, ripe fruit, balanced by a lively acidity; long, lingering finish

Untitled
"Rich and layered, with apple, piecrust, caramel and toast aromas and flavors. Full and rich, yet fresh and balanced. Long and impressive. Chardonnay. Drink now." -Rated 93, Wine Spectator
Untitled
"A wonderfully pure, minerally Chardonnay laced with varietal fruit buffered by silky, elegant tannins. The French oak needs some time to incorporate into the wine, but this remains and extraordinarily beautiful, refined Chardonnay of notable pedigree. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2016. " -Rated 92, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
