The estate-grown grapes for this wine come from some of the appellation's highest-elevation sites, at the base of Mount Veeder. Natural acidity is the star of the show, a nice surprise after a decadent honeyed color and bouquet. Serious texture and complexity give way to a touch…

This reserve bottling takes the winery's basic 2011 Chardonnay and elevantes it with rich fruit and oak flavors. It's flamboyant in style with buttered toast, lemon custard, papaya and vanilla bean flavors, but balanced with good acidity.

Like tasting toothpicks. New oak accounts for just 40% of the aging, yet dominates with caramel, vanilla and buttered toast. Somewhere below are pineapple, pear, lime and honey flavors. Will appeal to Chardophiles who enjoy this New World style.

The oaky power of this wine is its hallmark, giving smoky, buttered toast, vanilla and woody extract tastes to the underlying pineapple and pear flavors. Would be better if the oak weren't quite so dominant.
