92 pts from Wine Spectator! This has a lovely, inviting gold color, with loads of ripe apple, pineapple, nectarine, honey, flowers and mineral on the nose, following through to a full-bodied palate, with good fresh acidity and a long finish of piecrust, cream and mineral. All in harmony. Opulent. Drink now. 16,665 cases made. ûJS NOV 2008 ISSUE

88 pts from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate!

The barrel-aged 2006 Chardonnay spent 10 months on its lees. It is a rich, creamy Chardonnay with perfumed aromatics and plenty of ripe varietal fruit. It offers excellent length with lovely poise and a fresh finish. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2011. - Antonio Gallino Feb 08 Issue
