Readers looking for a cooler climate should check out the Green Valley offering from the Walker Station Vineyard.
The 2001 Chardonnay Walker Station Vineyard possesses crisp acidity as well as a striking liquid minerality intermixed with orange rind and white peach characteristics. Rich, textured, and medium to full-bodied, with a strong mineral character and a Burgundian-like personality, it should drink well for 5-6 years.
