This is the winery’s most expensive Chardonnay, and it’s also easily their best. It shows the ripe, flashy opulence that makes Chardonnay America’s favorite white, with an array of pineapple and orange pie flavors. Beyond the richness, there’s good acidity and a clean, brisk finish. Drink now.

Made in the modern California Chardonnay style you’ll either love or hate. It’s enormously extracted in pineapple tart, crème brûlée and honey-drizzled buttered toast flavors, and the acidity is bright and clean. The superrichness would benefit from greater control.

Buttered toast, buttered popcorn and caramelly-vanilla flavors dominate this wine. Fortunately, a strong punch of pineapple and orange jam stands up to all that barrel influence.

This is a simple but delicious Pinot Noir. It has candied cherry flavors that are sweet and sour, with lots of toasty, vanilla-scented oak. Drink up.

Dry and acidic, with sweet and sour Lifesaver pineapple and lemon candy flavors. Made in an easy-to-like style. Production was 4,500 cases, and the alcohol is a modest 13%.

Fruity and simple, with a bubblegummy sweetness to the raspberries and cherries. Pleasant rather than complex, and not likely an ager.
