2014 Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards Chardonnay: This classic Burgundian-style Chardonnay bursts with aromas of light pineapple, roasted nuts, ripe green apple, tropical fruit and caramel. Hazelnuts, smoke, roasted nuts, caramel and yellow stone fruits all meld together on the palate. Fermented in French Oak barrels with no ML fermentation and aged sur lie. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gave it 90 points: "The 2014 Chardonnay has a pleasant, creamy, honeyed mouthfeel, a touch of toast, good citrus butter, medium body, and fine length. This is a bigger, more seriously endowed Chardonnay than many."

2012 Stag's Leap Chardonnay, Napa Valley: A classic example of cool climate Chardonnay, this is bright and crisp, but also features lightly toasted undertones that give it length and richness on the palate. With a round, floral finish, this refreshing wine is deftly balanced, ready to enjoy now but with the acidic structure to be cellared for several years. Driven by wonderful fruit intensity, lasting lemon minerality and bright acidity, the 2012 vintage walks the ideal line between delicacy and weight. The grapes were handpicked and gently whole cluster pressed. In order to preserve the fresh floral aromatics, 25% of the wine was fermented in stainless steel and remained in tank until the final blend was assembled. The winemaking hand remains light with 25% of the wine fermented and aged in new French oak barrels and the remaining 50% in seasoned French oak. This specific barrel treatment helps preserve the essential purity of the fruit while adding subtle notes of oak complexity.

2015 Hamel Family Sauvignon Blanc: From Sonoma Valley's coveted Hamel Family Vineyards comes this highly rated and elusive Sauvignon Blanc. Lightly tinged gold in hue, the wine presents with Asian pear, green fig, lemon zest and chamomile which give way to a distinct minerality that emerges at the finish. Bottled in March 2016, and averaging a 92 point community score, this wine is a pleasure to drink now and will continue to develop.
