  With all of the fruit coming from Gamache Vineyard, this wine brings aromas of lees, butterscotch and butter. It's elegant in style with a lightly creamy feel and flavors that linger.

  This marks a change in style from Three Rivers's 2010, with noticeably less new oak influence and a much smaller production. The green apple and pineapple flavors have some sharpness, and the barrel fermentation (just 15% new oak) adds a biscuit-like note of vanilla wafer.

  For those who love a big, oaky Chardonnay, this is for you. It's raw, blocky and rough, but there is plenty of fresh oak flavor, and time should integrate the wood into the clean and straightforward green apple flavor.

  Very soft, it feels like the vinous equivalent of a creampuff. The fruit is lightly tropical, with notes of caramel and banana, cut through with a streak of citrus and apple.

  This barrel-fermented Chardonnay has a nice mix of fruit flavors—apple and melon, pineapple and citrus – some picked up from the addition of 5% Semillon. Fresh and light, this is a versatile wine that would be a great by-the-glass restaurant pour.

  This is very appealing when first popped, with plenty of forward butter and caramel scents livening up the fresh fruit. Ready to drink right now, it retains enough acid to stand up to food, though the finish is a little bitter from all the new oak.
