2002 Martinelli Chardonnay Woolsey Road
91 points
Some yeastiness with nice pineapple notes. Good acidity, too. A bit of carnation on the nose, too (aka stink flower) Golden in color, this was quite nice and had a nice amount of milky smoothness to it, but not enough to wash out the refreshing acidity. Delicious.

Pale & clear, zingy, minerals, river rocks, slate, painfully dry finish, a little bit stemmy. Quite drinkable, though.

1999 Joseph Drouhin Meursault

Clear, medium gold, lily, cherry blossom, honey liquer, a bit of oak, almost a smelly cheese smell (or feet -- but it blew off). A well mannered wine. Nice. Great bouquet.

2003 Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay Vintner's Reserve
90 points
Great nose, almost Viognier-like, honeysuckle melon, vanilla, but it had a faint sweetness to it that held my rating back a bit. Still, quite refreshing. I was surprised to see this wine when it was revealed.
