  Moderate in oak and well-structured, this estate-grown wine is subdued and classy, with defined layers of green olive, juicy apple and lemongrass, a tiny hint of jalapeño adding a touch of spice. Food-friendly, it'll complement a versatile range of dishes.

• 201388 pts

  Crisp green apple, fresh citrus and caramel coat the palate before delving into nutmeg and Tahitian vanilla, the wine's fruit ripe and in balance. Bright acidity refreshes throughout the glass, finishing in a splash of minerally spice.

• 201288 pts

  Dry, oaky and minerally, this Chardonnay shows intensely focused Meyer lemon, lime, Asian pear and golden apricot flavors, whose acidity makes it savory. One-third new oak gives it a vanilla and buttered toast richness. Drink this fine wine now, but not too cold.

• 201190 pts

  Lots of new oak brings buttered toast flavors to this Chardonnay. Sur lees aging adds notes of sour cream. The underlying fruit veers toward intensely flavored green apples and limes. Tasted in January, the components haven't come together. Give it until the fall of 2013.

  This is a rather austere, tough Chardonnay. Bone dry, it's marked by brisk acidity, minerality and citrus flavors, with a touch of apricot that's reminiscent of botrytis.

• 200988 pts

  Rich and creamy, showing tangerine, apricot, buttered toast, cinnamon spice and herb flavors. A solid wine for drinking with roast salmon, seared tuna or a salad of bitter greens with goat cheese and orange slices.
