*Two Stars* Very rich and multifaceted aromas of ripe apples, sweet citrus, lightly toasty oak and roasted grains give this wine an inviting leg up, and its combination of rich yet balanced flavors keep it solidly on track. It is fairly full in body without evident turn to heaviness, and its convincingly long, youthfully vital finish raises the notion of some two to four years of cellaring, but only if the early charms of this immensely inviting wine can be avoided. Otherwise, please let it sit for a year or two. (5/ 2011)
Complex, with rich fig, melon, honeysuckle and spice notes. Full-bodied and focused, ending with an elegant mouthfeel. Drink now through 2014. (6/ 2011)
Miner's Napa Valley Chardonnay is sourced from particularly low-yielding vineyards to produce the most concentrated fruit possible. While aged in luxuriously spicy French oak, the winemaker moderates malolactic fermentation in order to preserve the wine's vivacity and bright citrus characteristics.
