    Tempting, slightly nutty aromas and a firm texture characterize this light-bodied wine. With time in the glass, attractive doughy nuances and hints of caramel and toasted almonds join the apple flavors.

    Unusually dry and crisp, this gives up tangy green apple, kiwi and lemon flavors backed by electric acidity, rather light body and a touch of enervating astringency that's unusual in a white wine. Fresh oysters, please.

    An elegant Chardonnay from Anderson Valley's cool vineyards, this is fruity and accessible, but also nuanced with hints of beeswax, vanilla and delicate lemon. Subtly oaked, it finishes with a note of candied fruit.
