This memorable white offers flavors of mango, pear and crème brûlée, with a seductive richness to the feel of the palate. The oak is integrated—it shows power and grace within a balanced body and touch of brine. — Virginie Boone

The 2016 Chardonnay Olivet Lane Vineyard has an opulent nose of candied lemon peel, preserved ginger and honeycomb over a core of peach tart, poached pears and guava. Medium-bodied, the palate bursts with spices and stone fruit notions, with a racy backbone and long, creamy finish. 290 cases produced.
