Note: Longridge Bay View offerings are the second wines of Longridge. The demure 1999 Longridge Chardonnay is a delicious if somewhat shy offering. It proposes a rich, broad personality with delicate pear, apple, and vanilla flavors. This elegant wine is light to medium-bodied and delicate. Projected maturity: now-2004.
