2007 Signature Chardonnay | Rated 90

WA#187 (Feb 2010)

"The elegant 2007 Chardonnay reveals finesse allied to noteworthy flavor authority.  Poached pear, white corn, orange rind, honeyed citrus blossom, and a touch of green apple-like characteristics are all present in this medium to full-bodied Chardonnay with a long, pure finish.  It should provide pleasure over the next 3-4 years" - Robert Parker
