Drink this polished Chardonnay now with shellfish or chicken stew. It’s crisp and minerally, with a hit of acidity backing up the citrus fruit, honey and vanilla oak flavors.——S.H.(8/1/2011)—— 88

Like most Chards these days, this wine is boldly flavored, oaky and rich. But it goes beyond the tropical fruits, vanilla and buttercream to achieve real finesse and elegance. The crisp acidity helps make it balanced. ——S.H.(12/1/2005)—— 90
