The 2007 Chardonnay Germaine Vineyard was aged in one-third new oak with some lees stirring. Light gold-colored, it exhibits an attractive nose of baked apple and poached pear. This leads to a medium- to full-bodied wine with excellent depth on the mid-palate, savory flavors, and a lengthy, fruit-filled finish. Drink it over the next 4-5 years.Tel.
