Less impressive than the 1993 Chardonnay, but still very good is the 1992 Chardonnay. More restrained and monolithic, it is a pleasing wine, although it is nowhere near the level of the 1993 cuvees. This property has recently shown significant progress in the quality and complexity of its wines. Winemaker Bob Levy and consulting French oenologist Michel Rolland have moved to a more natural winemaking style, with full malolactic fermentation for the whites. In addition, the reds are now bottled with little or no fining or filtration. There is also significantly less acidification. The results are more texturally enticing and complete wines. How good it is to see this winery begin to produce such high quality wines. Tel. (707) 963-2225; Fax (707) 963-1949.
