6/1/2013 - wood wrote: 90 pointsDeep inky color. This had a complex array of flavors ranging from spice - red fruits - wood/vanilla/pencil - some stems/herbaceous in the background. Even though this finished a little hot I did like this wine. |

1993 Lazy Creek Vineyards Chardonnay Estate Old VineAnderson Valley more |
7/9/2007 - wood wrote: 89 pointsWe drank this in 2007 and it was already dark amber turning to deep red in color. This wine was picked at a sky-high 52 brix and they had to add some Reisling juice to bring down the sugar level so it would ferment. This wine is very sweet with the notable apricot flavor typical of botrytis-infected wines. Not the knock-your-socks-off flavor of some great high-end Sauternes, but it's still a very nice dessert wine. |

2003 Tandem Chardonnay Ritchie VineyardSonoma Coast more |
8/31/2009 - wood wrote: 92 pointsThere's way too much oak for the average chard lover, but it did appeal to me. There's so much oak it left the color very dark, almost amber. The feel was oily and buttery into the long finish. There's some fruit but the centerpiece is clearly the oak. |
