Almost over the top in sweet, ripe fruit and oak. Will alarm purists who demand a lean style, but delight Chardophiles who exult in the rich California approach. With massive pineapple, apricot, orange, pear and new oak flavors, its enriched with caramelized oak, and balanced with crisp acidity. Don’t drink it too cold or you’ll miss the nuances.——S.H.(12/22/2011)—— 92
