Hints of flint and softly charred cedar grace the ripe peach and pear fruit core of this balanced Chard. The mouth is round and lush, with a good cut to keep things clean and lifted on the wood-spice-infused finish. Should pair nicely with wood-plank grilled salmon.——L.B.(3/1/2012)—— 89

This minerally Chardonnay offers aromas of citrus and a touch of spice, and intense flavors of crisp citrus and slate on the palate. Though restrained, the wine offers a balance of freshness and elegant spice.——S.K.(6/1/2009)—— 87

An exuberant fruit nose leads this classic Chardonnay from Radford. The wine offers buttery and smooth flavors of toast and fruit on the palate and will please fans of bigger Chardonnays. A lingering finish adds to the depth. Pair with opulent dishes like lobster or steak.——S.K.(11/15/2008)—— 87
