This unoaked Chardonnay lets the fruit shine, and how rich it is. Offers waves of ripe pineapples and crisp green apples and hints of pears, papayas and spicy vanilla. Succulent and dry.

Tasty and direct, with savory flavors of cherry pie filling, raspberries, vanilla, buttered cinnamon toast and sandalwood. The texture is nice and silky. Drink now.

Like the 2007, the winery’s ’08 is a tasty, fruity wine that’s ready to drink now. Grown on Atlas Peak, it offers soft, spicy flavors of cherries, raspberries and cola, with a rich coating of smoky sandalwood.

Lots of ripe red cherry, pomegranate, cola and sandalwood flavors in this dry Pinot Noir. It lacks vibrant acidity to give life to the richness. Drink now.

The wine’s greenness shows its cool Atlas Peak origins as well as the lack of ripeness in the chilly vintage. It tastes of mint-inflected raspberry tea, and is very dry.
