Made in an earthier style. Not that there aren’t exuberant flavors of apples, pears and peaches, but they’re conjoined with notes of tobacco and herbs. Not especially oaky, but the smoke and vanilla complexities are just right.——S.H.(8/1/2003)—— 86

It is a solidly made, more muscular style that should drink well for 12-18 months.This winery continues to turn out impressive wines at reasonable prices. Winemaker Milla Handley produces fruit-driven wines of excellent ripeness, purity, and overall symmetry.Tel. (707) 895-3876

This well-made, medium-bodied Chardonnay possesses good freshness, plenty of fruit, fine depth, and no evidence of oak, although I suspect some may be lurking in the background. Drink this satisfying, mouthfilling wine over the next year. Tel. (707) 895-3876
