Winemaker Notes: 2005 is the quintessential Green Valley vintage. It beautifully expresses the bright, focused, clean, sweet-tart flavors of cool, foggy Green Valley. It is beautifully balanced, imparting a delightful "leesy", toasty, perfectly integrated barrel character that doesn't overwhelm the fruit. The texture is soft, smooth, silky and sensuous. The finish, long and lingering.

Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Chardonnay.
