The 2017 Chardonnay Edition Limitee opens with aromas of gravel dust, candle smoke, honey toast, hazelnut and white peach. It’s light to medium bodied and silky in the mouth, with youthfully slow to blossom savory flavor layers, framed by tangy acidity and zeroing in again with a precise, minerally finish. This deserves another year in bottle.

The 2016 Chardonnay Edition Limitee has a delicate nose of Bosc pear, baby’s breath flowers, wet stone and acacia honey. Light to medium-bodied, it's slightly creamy in the mouth with suggestions of honey-drizzled toast, mouthwatering acidity and a long mineral-laced finish. 124 cases produced.

The 2015 Chardonnay Edition Limitee is scented of white peaches, guava and pink grapefruit with notions of cedar, brioche, cashews and allspice. Medium to full-bodied and richly-fruited in the mouth, it delivers intense stone fruit and toasty flavors with great freshness and a nice long finish.

The 2014 Chardonnay Edition Limitee has an elegant bouquet with subtle white flower scents infiltrating the citrus fruit, apricot blossom and a touch of hazelnut emerging with time in the glass. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry, quite rounded in the mouth and smooth with veins of spice and orange peel. I would have just liked a little more nervosité to come through on the finish, otherwise this is a top-notch Chardonnay to enjoy over the next decade.

The 2012 Chardonnay Edition Limitée comes from a block planted in 1999 just outside the winery at a high elevation. The five barrels come from the "99 North" parcel, matured for 12 months in two-thirds new oak. That new wood comes through on the nose, but fortunately does not impede upon the fruit, furnished with attractive lemon thyme and orange sorbet notes emerging with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth texture, hints of dried honey, walnut and citrus lemon dovetailing into quite a leesy finish. Allow this a couple of years in bottle to fully absorb the oak. Very fine. Readers should note that this is only available from their cellar door.
