    This starts off a bit funky, with struck match aromas partially obscuring apple and citrus fruit. Yet it's full and custardy in feel, with hints of fruit showing through and a long, harmonious finish, so there's optimism for its future development. Drink now–2020.

    Like Dog Point's 2011 Chardonnay, this wine is dominated by citrusy elements. Hints of toasted almond and some riper notes of pear provide a certain amount of breadth on the palate, but citrus and quince dominate, lingering on the crisp finish. Drink now–2017.
