Note di degustazione
The 2007 Chardonnay Hawk Hill Vineyard displays copious amounts of white corn, honeyed pear, and tropical fruit characteristics in a full-bodied style with zesty acidity, admirable focus, and a medium to full-bodied, rich finish. Although it is my least favorite of these four Chardonnays, it is still an outstanding effort. It is just overwhelmed by the competition. Tired of drinking one oxidized white Burgundy after another? If so, check out wines such as this. The single vineyard Pinot Noirs are made from a wide range of California vineyards, primarily in the north, with Russian River and Sonoma Coast dominating, but there is also an Anderson Valley site (Ferrington), San Benito site (Vista Verde), and Yorkville Highlands (Weir). The Chardonnays are nearly as powerful as the Zinfandels in terms of alcohol strength, ranging from 14.5% to 14.8%. Tel. (707) 433-6425; Fax (707) 433-6546

Yellow-gold. Deep, smoky scents of pit fruits, yellow plum and toasty lees. The richest of these chardonnays, offering dense pit and orchard fruit flavors and a pliant, creamy texture. The finish echoes the leesy quality and leaves a sweet floral honey quality behind.
