Vivid yellow-gold. Aromas of peach, melon and honey, with subtle smoke and spice nuances. Broad and juicy, with good depth to its sappy pit fruit flavors. A touch of palate-numbing white pepper adds welcome bite to the long, spicy finish. For all this wine's richness I find it impressively lively and precise, in the style of the vintage.

You want decadence, opulence and fabulosity in your Chardonnay? This one's for you. It's tremendous in ripe pineapple, pear, peach, mango, lime, tangerine and papaya flavors. So much fruit, while the oak application is never heavy handed, applying just the right touch of buttered toast. Where does all that vanilla honey come from? A magnificent example of a first-growth California Chardonnay, at a great price. Editors' Choice"
