Dillon 2005 Barrel Fermented Chardonnay (Yountville)

Price $23

The oak is sweet and upfront but well-proportioned to the size of the fruit in this luscious Chardonnay, which comes from a cooler part of Napa Valley. There’s Carneros-like acidity and very ripe, forward pear, peach, pineapple and date nut bread flavors. — S.H. (11/1/2007)

Dillon 2006 Barrel Fermented Chardonnay (Yountville)

Price $23

Off a pace from the 2005, this wine tastes too oaky, with caramelized wood aromas and flavors that make it hard to appreciate the actual Chardonnay. If you like that oaky style, it’s for you. — S.H. (11/1/2008)

points

Dillon 2008 Barrel Fermented Chardonnay (Yountville)

Price $23

Dry, crisp and austere, although it’s elegant in its own way. Shows citrus, mineral and lees flavors, with some creamy, buttered toast notes. — S.H. (10/1/2010)
