From the cooler, southeast part of the valley, but the wine still has that heavy softness that so many Napa Chards have, with the flavor of pears and oak. Tasty enough, but lacks the vital spark you get from cooler climates.——S.H.(11/1/2006)—— 86

Clean and sleek, a rather austere Chard whose flavors veer toward green apples and figs, with good acidity. Finishes with some earthiness.——S.H.(10/1/2005)—— 85

Gloriously rich to the point of decadence, a flamboyant wine that oozes pear, melon, nectarine, tangerine, honey, vanilla and smoke flavors. All this is encased in a creamy, leesy texture leading to a long, spicy finish. The finish turns dry and a little peppery.——S.H.(12/1/2003)—— 91

Expressive notes of minerals and honeyed citrus are found in this wine's moderately intense bouquet. It will offer crisp acidity, medium body, and considerable fruit if consumed over the next 1-2 years.Tel. and Fax (707) 942-0840

The light straw-colored with a greenish hue 1998 Chardonnay Haynes Vineyard offers attractive citrus, pineapple, and pear fruit, medium body, admirable purity, and zesty underlying acidity. Enjoy it over the next year. This wine is not ostentatious or big, but it is pure, elegant, and well-made. Tel. (707) 942-0840
