92 points Wine & Spirits: "This assertive chardonnay leads with heady scents of caramelized apples and vanillin. The oak aromas recede on the palate, brightened by juicy pear flavors of impressive clarity; the oak and fruit, in the end, are finely integrated. For veal." 89 points and a "Smart Buy" designate, Wine Spectator: "Polished and refined, with a distinct hazelnut note adding interest to the creamy peach and apple flavors, lingering gently on the finish. Drink now through 2011." (09/08) And, according to Wine Enthusiast: "This is a wine for those who love the California style of Chardonnay." (12/08) K&L's notes - If you are looking for a well-priced, rich, complex California Chardonnay, maybe it is time to look to Washington! Yes, Washington is really producing some excellent value buys with Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. This Chardonnay is a well-rounded, rich, creamy Chard with plenty of acidity and freshness. (Trey Beffa, K&L's domestic buyer)
