Tasting notes
(65% new oak) Good full yellow. Laid-back, nuanced nose offers minerals, nutmeg and citrus skin. Sweet, smooth and harmonious, with good firm acidity keeping the flavors under wraps. Just a hint of warmth on the finish.

The 2004 Chardonnay Richard Dinner Vineyard reveals a greenish hue to its light gold color, more structure, a crushed rock component, and heady, high alcohol, full-bodied flavors with gorgeous layers of fruit and texture. It will drink well for 2-3 years. (Release date 9/06) Tel. (707) 824-9879; Fax (707) 824-5843
