Riper tree fruit on the palate, but not becoming totally fruity. Creamy lees-iness on the nose and palate. Finishes nice and crisp. Big and crisp with rounded edges.

All from the younger vines on the Oliver vineyard. Also a change in winemaking - here all stainless steel and blocked malo and then three to five year old barrels for a very short time.
Leesy and rich, clean with that fat fruit note of southern California fruit.

From memory: balanced chardonnay that can be considered restrained for a Cali. Quite good. Unfortunately it's pushing up against the QPR boundary in my market. I'd buy cases at US prices.
