The 2008 Chardonnay has a nose of toasted peach, grapefruit marmalade and hints of pork crackling, with fennel flower, turmeric and stewed apple. In the mouth, the wine is still completely taut, at 14 years old. The lack of malolactic fermentation (house style) holds these wines in suspension somewhat; their evolution is graceful and slow. This wine is very impressive. The acidity retains freshness and verve, but the fruit shows age and savory/tertiary character.

This white is bright, vivid and appealing for its pure pear, peach and citrus flavors, sailing easily over the open-textured finish and showing finesse. Drink now through 2015. 600 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / Western Australia / Margaret River Select to Add

Bold and a bit heavy-handed, with prominent vanilla and sawdust aromas that dominate the melon fruit. Dry in the mouth, this wine finishes with a pleasant lemon and toffee note. Drink now.——W.E.(12/31/2009)—— 83
