The light gold-colored 2006 Chardonnay Kevin John was sourced from a biodynamically farmed vineyard. It gives up a superb aromatic array of toasty oak, vanilla, baked apple, mango, pineapple, and mineral. Layered on the palate, it has intense fruit flavors, incipient complexity, and superb balance. This nicely focused Chardonnay should evolve for several years and drink well for at least a decade.
