A
new offering, the 2005 Chardonnay Four Hearts is a 11,000-case
cuvee of stunning Chardonnay. Beautiful aromas of honeysuckle,
peach blossoms, poached pears, and subtle wood are present in
this well-made, elegant, crisp, aromatically expressive white.
Medium to full-bodied, long, and pure, it should provide plenty
of pleasure over the next 3-4 years. This is one of my favorite
wineries for Burgundian-styled Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs as
well as full-throttle Zinfandels (although the 2005s are lighter
than usual). Don Hartford and Jess Jackson have incredible access
to some fabulous vineyards.
Drink '06 - '10.
