  Tropical stone fruit and wild honey rise from the nose of this exquisite white wine, from a spot smack in the middle of the appellation. High-toned citrus lifts the acidity to refreshing, supporting levels, a mix of Meyer lemon and limestone-like stoniness. A lean, lithe underbelly underlies a heart of apple pie and baked pineapple.

  The 2015 Chardonnay Olivet Lane Vineyard displays aromas of white peaches, pink grapefruit, pineapple and candied ginger with hints of cashews and meal. Medium to full-bodied with a rich, opulent, creamy texture and packed with voluptuous tropical and layers of spice, it has a racy backbone and very long finish. Rating: 94(+) Points.

  A light, well-tailored touch of sweet oak affords a bit of crème-brûlée richness to this polished wine’s pure and precise aromas of fresh-apple fruit and similarly affords quiet support in the rich, yet racy flavors that follow. While moderately full-bodied, the wine is fairly spry and very light on its feet with lots of fruity acidity keeping it buoyant and bright from start to finish, and its fine sense of energy will stand it in good stead for several years.
