Hanzell
Chardonnay 2009
Sonoma Valley, California
$56.99
Wine Enthusiast- 95- A tremendous Chardonnay. As always, the winery;s ’09 s bone dry, crisply acidic and minerally. You might call it austere at this point, with its tart finish of grapefruit. But a great Hanzell Chardonnay will improve for at least a decade, possible two, and this is a great Hanzell Chardonnay. The score reflects what the wine likely will be approximately eight years down the road.

Simonnet-Febvre
Chablis 2009

WS 90 “Aromas of oyster shell and wet stone overlay melon and ripe apple in this round Chablis, which is open and supple, with a lingering, juicy finish that shows citrus accents. Drink now through 2014.”

Shafer 2009
Red Shoulder Ranch
Chardonnay
Carneros, California
$49.99
WE 96 “Shafter consistently produces one of the biggest, fruitiest Chardonnays in California, and yet the wine remians balanced and interesting. The 2009 Red Shoulder Ranch is gigantic in pineapples, pears, mangoes, tangerines and honey, and yet so minerally and crisp that somehow it finishes dry.”

This will be in house tomorrow.
Please let us know what we can set aside for you.

Foxglove
Chardonnay 2009
Central Coast, California
$14.99
Parker 90 “This terrific portfolio of values is led by Foxglove’s remarkable 2009 Chardonnay, a non-oaked, stainless steel-fermented and aged white that sees no malolactic fermentation. Moreover, there are 30,000 cases of this beauty, a blend of two-thirds Santa Barbara County fruit and the rest from Paso Robles and further north in Monterey. It exhibits crisp honeyed lemon, citrus, poached pear, and honeysuckle notes intermixed with a hint of pineapple. However, it is the zesty acidity, stunning purity, and delightful balance this naked Chardonnay possesses that make it so appealing. Enjoy it over the next year.”

Neely 2009
Holly’s Cuvee
$46.99
Parker 95 ” The 2009 Chardonnay Holly’s Cuvee is a striking wine endowed with layers of pure fruit. It shows gorgeous balance, class and sheer pedigree from start to finish. Holly’s Cuvee is a blend of the three parcels bottled separately under the Varner label (see my reviews in this issue.) Even though the blend is 71% Bee Block, 27% Amphitheater and 2% Home Block, it is the Amphitheater that comes through most in this terrific, multi-dimensional wine. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2019. ”
