"Yellow apples, sliced pears and honeysuckle with butterscotch and cereal grain with underlying notes of sea shell and button mushrooms. Medium body, soft acidity with a slightly phenolic aftertaste. Drink or hold."

"Napa Valley chardonnay takes a turn toward Chassagne in the flavors of an almond, macadamia and pear pastry, with some orange zest and bitter pith to add layers. It's intriguing and finely made. —J.G."

"Creamy but complex, this elegant wine made from mature vines glides across the palate, sharing subtle oak smoke, toasted almond, butter and Bosc pear flavors in fascinating layers. Silky in texture, nicely dry and long on the finish, the wine is something for a special occasion with a great meal. Editor's Choice."
