Bright yellow-gold color. Complex aromas of yellow fruits, flowers and honey. Supple, fat and almost surprisingly sweet for this bottling, but with lively acidity guaranteeing freshness. Finishes with noteworthy persistence. I like this chardonnay's combination of richness and verve, and prefer it to the 2006.

Full-bodied and powerful, with layers of pineapple and cream and apple tart character. Almost like a red in texture and length, but delivers loads of fresh fruit and crisp acidity. Beautiful. Chardonnay, with a dash of Sauvignon Blanc. Drink now. 2,250 cases made. -JS
