The 2007 Chardonnay Isobel, which took almost a year to finish its malolactic fermentation, displays a slight greenish hue to its color, some smoky hazelnut notes intermixed with lemon butter, white peach, honeysuckle, and brioche. It is full-bodied, with great fruit, underlying minerality, and a sensational finish. Most of these wines seem to easily pass 20 seconds on the palate. -94-96pts WA
