Winemakers Comments
Winemaker's Comments: This fine vintage is a classical, slow-developing Mayacamas Chardonnay. No winery manipulations to alter the flavor and no heavy oak. The mountain vineyards do the talking.  It is in its prime and should remain in top form for at least three or four more years.  The usual smooth viscosity and rich flavors of full maturity are in clear evidence.  Enjoy with anything worth eating.
