Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Ripe fresh apricot and marzipan on the nose, along with a mineral component. Juicy, spicy and minerally; more taut and less fat than the basic village offering. Showing its ...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2010 Chardonnay is a very pretty, focused wine with bright, well-articulated fruit and lovely overall balance. The non-malo approach works well here. Anticipated maturity:...
