Intense and minerally, with vivid, structured, peppery wild berry, sage, cedar and mineral. Firm and full-bodied, ending with tannins that clamp down tight. Drink now through 2016. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 1,200 cases made.

A big Burgundy-style wine with spicy oak and plenty of tropical fruit. Luscious and concentrated with a long, crisp finish. "A beautiful Chardonnay to enjoy over the next several years" (Robert Parker Dec. '07)
