Score 89/100 · Drink 2013-2017, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec 2011
The 2009 Chardonnay shows the more restrained, elegant side of Napa Valley Chardonnay. Layers of tropical fruit, smoke, minerals and French oak all come together gracefully in this delicate, feminine wine. The 2009 was aged in French oak barrels, with blocked malolactic fermentation.
