The barrel fermented Reserve Chardonnays have gone from strength to strength over recent vintages. The 1993 Chardonnay Reserve exhibits a medium straw color, a rich, smoky, fruity nose, medium to full body, a creamy texture, and rich, honeyed, fruit cocktail-like flavors that have been nicely infused with high quality oak. Although fully mature, it should continue to drink well for 1-2 years. Winemaker Bob Levy continues to upgrade the quality of Merryvale's wine program.Tel. (707) 963-2225; Fax (707) 963-1949
