Medium yellow-gold color. Strong pear and apple aromas typical of Carneros Chardonnay, combined with the rich toasty-vanilla and caramel scents from new oak and a hint of butteriness reflect the fine vintage conditions. Medium full-bodied texture, with rich fruit flavors complemented by nutty-vanilla and spice accents showcase bright acidity that leaves an expressive note on the finish; a good partner with richer fish dishes, chicken alfredo pasta, and ripe soft cheeses like Camembert.

Drink now through 2009. 5,000 cases made. –JL" -Rated 88, Wine Spectator Untitled "Nice and dry, with smoky oak framing tropical fruit and peach flavors, finishing with Asian spices. With its crisp acids and rich fruitiness, it’s a natural for shellfish or creamed chicken. — S.H. (8/1/2007)" -Rated 92, Wine Enthusiast
