The 2005 Chardonnay Isobel has that greenish hue to its yellow straw color. The wine smells fabulous, with notes of tropical fruits, honeyed citrus, a touch of roasted hazelnut, and a crushed rock flintiness. A wine of great intensity, full-bodied power, but extraordinary structure and length, this is a sensational Chardonnay that should drink well for 5-8 years. Proprietor Kerry Murphy and his winemaker, Andy Smith, are doing sensational work in the cool-climate areas of the Russian River. This has become one of my favorite tastings of the year, and not only are their Chardonnays and Pinot world-class, but they have extended their brilliance to both Viognier and Syrah. This is a winery that is clearly on top of its game and pushing all the right buttons in terms of quality.Previously recommended: 2004 Chardonnay Chloe (95), 2004 Chardonnay Clare (95+), 2004 Chardonnay Isobel (94+), 2004 Pinot Noir Aidan (89), 2004 Pinot Noir Finn (94), 2004 Pinot Noir Ryan (91), 2004 Syrah Eddie’s Patch (93), 2005 Syrah Jack Robert’s Run (95).Tel.
