點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：5493

An earthy Chardonnay, with herb-infused citrus and peach flavors, overlaid with sweet oak. It’s soft and a little sweet and ready to drink now. ——S.H.(11/1/2011)—— 86

Here’s a nice Chardonnay with enough elegance to have with lobster, scallops, grilled salmon and other upscale dishes. It has ripe flavors of pineapple jam, Meyer lemon tart, vanilla and smoky oak, with oaky, yeasty complexities.——S.H.(7/1/2009)—— 87

Similar in flavor and structure to the regular ’06 Chard, Schug’s reserve is oakier and has more punch. The pear, peach, golden mango, honey and mineral flavors are firmed and toned by crisp Carneros acidity. ——S.H.(11/1/2008)—— 90

Easily the richest of Schug’s current trio of Chards, showing the elegance and crispness of the other bottlings, but with more fruity intensity. It’s still a fairly restrained wine, rich in acidity and dry minerality, but rewards with pineapple custard and butterscotch flavors.——S.H.(8/1/2007)—— 90

Bright and tart in green apple and pink grapefruit flavors that have high, puckery acidity, this Chard from the Sonoma side of the appellation is softened with the buttercream of oak and lees. Try with lemon chicken.——S.H.(11/1/2006)—— 87
