Exhibits ripe, heady, orange marmalade, lemon oil, tropical fruit, and leesy brioche/caramelized characteristics. It possesses fabulous fruit as well as the vintage’s hallmark zingy acidity. Enjoy it over the next 4-5 years.

Superrich, deep and concentrated, with layers of ripe pear, honeysuckle, fig and spice. Ends with a touch of cedary oak. Drink now through 2010.

Hazy greenish-straw color. Musky and leesy, with fresh Meyer lemon and tangerine aromas complicated by a hint of tarragon. Very creamy on the palate, with lush citrus and orchard fruit flavors, gentle acidity and a wild iodine quality that reminded me of what I tasted at Kistler. Full, concentrated chardonnay, with very good finishing power and length.
