  A remarkable wine with no signs of oxidation in color or taste. Wonderfully viscous and substantial, due to texture not oak flavors. Clean and vital despite its weight, with a lingering finish.

  part of a vertical tasting of '99-'03. It is so interesting to see the subtle changes from year to year. There was a major jump in style between '99 and onward, with later years richer and creamier while still staying very vibrant riding the high alcholol. Really could have been drinking a great Burgundy, everything was so balanced. Not much of a nose on this one, and a bit more citrus then the '00, opened up well over the evening and was very satisfying.

  Rich and hot with lush and ripe yellow fruit. Definitely showing some nice signs of age.
  Lots of toasted carmel and toffee notes.
  The palate persists with awesome and flamboyant acidity unusual to a Chardonnay from Santa Rita. I loved it though.
  Some nice heat ala the high alcohol content. Though overall this was balanced.
  I'm a huge fan of this wine.
