The largest cuvee is the 2007 Chardonnay Santa Rita Hills (14,400 bottles). This light gold-colored effort reveals no evidence of wood aging, offering terrific acidity as well as a distinctive subtle earthiness underlying the abundant display of honeysuckle, marmalade, and lemon blossom-like fruit. Deep, full-bodied, vibrant, and alive, it should drink well for 7-10 years. -93pts WA
