  Full-bodied and resplendent in ripe apple and brioche, this well-crafted wine is layered and smooth. It would pair well with grilled salmon or herb-roasted chicken.

  This Chardonnay is marked by tart acidity, lemon and pear flavors and oak. While it's technically dry, it has a honeyed note that suggests Asian fare, or Sunday brunch with a cheese omelet.

• 201085 pts

  Dry and soft, this is a little earthy, so if you're expecting a big, rich wine this might not be for you. It has dried herb, grilled pineapple and smoky oak flavors.

  Heavy and sweet, with apricot jam, tangerine, buttercream and caramel flavors. A sound everyday Chardonnay for drinking now. Production was 10,000 cases.

• 200886 pts

  Bone dry and hard in acidity, this is an austere Chardonnay that lacks richness, and hopes to trade on elegance. It has modest pineapple flavors, touched with smoky oak and lees. Defines a low-alcohol, minerally approach. Drink now.

  This '06 is the winery's regular bottling, not the reserve, and Chard lovers will find it a little lacking in richness. Still, it's a dry, crisp, elegantly structured wine, with mineral-infused pear and pineapple flavors.
