*Editors' Choice* Vine Cliff consistently produces one of the best Chardonnays in Napa Valley, and here’s another one. The cool vintage gives it refreshing acidity, while the flavors are ripe and frankly delicious, suggesting pineapple and Key lime pie, vanilla custard, buttered toast, vanilla and dusty pie spices. A girding of minerality helps the dry structure. Really complex, and a joy to drink. (12/ 2011)
One star from the Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine: "Its minerally component adds an attractive note of solidity to this wine's ripe, appley aromas, and the toasty oak backdrop brings its own extra note of interest. Full on the palate and softened by an oily, glyceriny quality at entry, it firms up across the palate and finds balancing acidity in the late going. Typical of Vine Cliff, the wine is both rich and somewhat tight at the same time, and it is sure to reward a bit of cellaring." (10/11) From Wine Spectator: "Fragrant, with delicate ripe pear, melon and honeysuckle notes that are pure, medium-bodied and complex. Drink now through 2015." (06/11)
