($25): Certainly compared to the Robert Young Chardonnay (reviewed this week and previously), this is a full-blown–yet not ‘over the top’–Chardonnay.  A buttery, toasty quality seems to magnify the ripe tropical fruit flavors. Adequate citric-like acidity holds it all together and despite the richness and power, it’s not over done.  But make no mistake, this is not a tightly wound Chablis-styled wine–it’s overt and decadently rich. 89 Michael Apstein May 26, 2009
