Score 90/100 · Josh Raynolds, Nov 2007

Greenish straw. Spicy quince and pear aromas open to show a honeyed character. Racy and fresh, with vibrant citrus and orchard fruit flavors, sharp focus and a dry finish. Very sneaky persistence here. This did not go through malo.

Arguably one of the finest stainless steel-fermented and aged Chardonnays made in California is Melville’s Chardonnay Clone 76 Inox. The 2006 offers beautiful, clean, lemon butter, honeysuckle, and orange/tangerine characteristics, medium body, and stunning elegance and precision. Vivid and fresh, this un-oaked Chardonnay should be enjoyed over the next 1-3 years. Tel. (805) 235-7030
