Tasting note: Good bright, pale yellow. Lovely lift and
complexity to the aromas of lemon, almond, marzipan, stone fruits and
flowers, with intriguing crushed rock and fruit pit nuances. Densely
packed and generous on the palate, showing much more flesh and
generosity of texture today than the young 2006. But there's also superb
grip to the flavors of lemon drop, crushed rock, minerals and spices.
This has put on weight since I tasted it a year ago from barrel. (95pts. Stephen Tanzer)

Tasting note: A stunning effort, the 2005 Chardonnay boasts copious notes of floral,
honeysuckle, and orange oil offered in a full-bodied white. It possesses
terrific acidity, a striking terroir-based minerality, and beautiful
delineation as well as purity. This is a large-scaled yet remarkably
fresh wine with the balance and grace of a world-class ballerina. Enjoy
it over the next decade. (95pts. Robert Parker)
