Pale gold. Locked up tight on the nose. Extremely tightly wrapped in the mouth and dominated by its structure and oak component. Oily, viscous and oak-spicy, and quite long on the back end, but virtually impossible to taste today. Judgment deferred.

The 1995 Chardonnay Cuvee Cathleen, a selection made from the finest barrels, is spectacular. Given the overall thrilling quality at this winery, one can imagine just how extraordinary this wine is. The Cuvee Cathleen possesses a light golden color, followed by a ripe, honeyed, leesy nose filled with fruit, roasted nuts, minerals, and spice. Extremely full-bodied, with super richness, purity, and multiple dimensions, this fabulously rich, explosively fruity, ripe.
