Iron Horse 2009 Native Yeast Chardonnay (Green Valley)

Price $48

With zesty acidity, this is a bright, lively Chardonnay. It’s very rich, offering waves of orange, green apple, pear and tropical fruit flavors, made firm with minerals. Drink this flashy Chardonnay over the next three years. — S.H. (8/1/2011)

Iron Horse 2008 Native Yeast Chardonnay (Green Valley)

Price $46

This is a very rich Chardonnay. It has complex, lush flavors of pineapples, lemons, limes, oranges and the smoky vanilla notes from 100% new oak. High acidity fortunately provides crisp balance. Almost too much of a good thing, it calls for equally rich fare, such as lobster or Ahi tuna tartare. — S.H. (9/1/2010)

Iron Horse 2005 Native Yeast Chardonnay (Green Valley)

Price $38

This is Iron Horse’s first foray into native yeast winemaking, and the wine does have a yeasty, leesy quality, in addition to the usual dryness and minerality. In fact, this Chard is a little austere. Try giving it some years in the cellar. — S.H. (11/1/2007)
