($48) Full yellow color. Musky, truffley aromas of mirabelle, peach, caramel and banana skin.Juicy and sweet, with slightly exotic yellow fruit flavors nicely framed by ripe acidity.Finishes firm and attractively sweet.

Rich, round and quite intriguing on the nose. Much more obvious acidity than in most of these wines. Really tucked in for future development and not at all hot. Grapefruit notes and weight and depth without alcohol. Bravo!

The 2004 Chardonnay Russian River, a blend of fruit from the Heintz, Ritchie, and Hyde vineyards, is a full-throttle, honeyed, citrus-smelling wine with full body, loads of fruit, a hint of white peaches, and good minerality.

Smooth, ripe and polished, with fleshy honeysuckle, melon and fig notes that turn spicy and elegant on the finish, where the flavors build intensity. 2,910 cases made.

The nose is redolent of preserved Italian lemons with hints of pear, warm citrus and pineapple. On the palate the flavors are rich and ripe with plenty of expression on the finish. Juicy yet showing focused acidity.
