Medium bright yellow. Knockout nose combines soft citrus scents, lemon, mint, iodine, white flowers and minerals; as Burgundian as California chardonnay gets. Broad on entry, then wonderfully complex and structured; a real mouthful of lemon, hazelnut and stone. Not as extroverted as some recent vintages of this wine, and less sweet and showy today than the Hyde. But this powerful, very dry chardonnay offers great purity and subtle length.

Smoke, yeast and roasted grain aromas, with firm, tart lemon, citrus, mineral and green pear flavors tightly woven together. Deeply concentrated, it definitely needs time in the bottle. Best from 2004 through 2008. 528 cases made. –JL
