With notes of buttered toast, honey and vanilla cream, this Chardonnay is overpowered by new oak barrel influences. Beneath that are delicious fruit flavors of pineapples, oranges, pears and apricots. Rich and flashy in the popular style, with good acidity, but the heavy hand of oak limits the score.——S.H.(11/1/2011)—— 88

A flamboyant, crisp Chardonnay made in the popular style of elaborately toasty oak and very ripe fruit, which combine to offer an almost pastry-like dessert taste. Floods the mouth with pineapple tart, Meyer lemondrop and vanilla flavors, with suggestions of kiwis, limes and green apples. Delicious and appealing. ——S.H.(7/1/2010)—— 92

The yeasty aroma and taste of lees and the sweet caramel of new oak dominate this single-vineyard Chardonnay, making it a little heavy. Yet it has enormous flavors of pineapples, green apples and Asian pears. Seems young and unintegrated, but could knit together and gain bottle complexity by mid-2010.——S.H.(11/1/2009)—— 90
