Stuhlmuller continues its recent string of Chardonnay successes with yet another winner. From its fresh, carefully oaked aromas of well-defined apples to its deep and gregarious young flavors, it is not only rich in fruit but shows, even at its tender age, a bit of expansion and suggestions of complexity to come. Very well-balanced and long on the palate, it finishes with a fruity flourish and, while thoroughly enjoyable now, it has the clear capacity to develop for several years. Its price makes it all the better. GOOD VALUE

This outstanding Chardonnay displays aromas of fresh green applesintermixed with lemon blossoms, pears, and honeysuckle. Some mineralnotes, crisp acidity, a medium-bodied style, and a judicious touch ofoak result in a delicious white to drink over the next 1-2 years. Robert Parker-90 points.
