Score 89/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2004

Slightly sweaty aromas of vineyard peach, apple, curry powder and lightly charred oak. Spicy and penetrating, with bright, firm-edged flavors of Granny Smith apple, lime zest, minerals and lees. Very suave, pure, understated chardonnay.

Score 88/100 · Drink 2003-2006, Robert Parker, Dec 2003

The 2002 Chardonnay Estate is a good introduction to the Rochioli style. It offers classic Russian River tropical fruit characteristics intertwined with smoke, hazelnut, and racy acidity. A finely etched Chardonnay with both elegance and power, it should be drunk over the next 2-3 years. Tel. (707) 433-2305; Fax (707) 433-2358
