A beautiful Chardonnay, dry, silky and modest in alcohol. It's rich in oak-inspired tropical fruit, peach and Meyer lemon fruit flavors, girded with a tangy minerality. Will be great with a mushroom risotto or something lobster based.

This is the ripest of Ojai's current trio of '08 Chardonnays, with tropical fruit, apricot and pear flavors, but it also shows the winery's telltale acidity, dryness and minerality. Drink now.
