This top-notch Chardonnay possesses 4-7 years of aging potential. It was aged in approximately 50% new French oak, and bottled without fining or filtration. The quality level is impeccably brilliant. A stunning Chardonnay is the spectacular 1998 Chardonnay Martinelli Road. With 14.1% alcohol, it is no shy wine. It boasts additional mineral notes, medium to full body, great fruit intensity, a sense of elegance, and a honeyed citrus, buttery, orange marmalade-flavored palate with a touch of smokiness. With abundant fruit and glycerin as well as a lusty, concentrated, rich finish, it will drink well for 5-6 years.
