Handley Cellars 2007 Dry Creek Valley Chardonnay

Complex fragrances of apple, pear, banana, orange and even cocoa merge with flavors of pear, marmalade, baking spices and sweet oak. This is a crisp Chardonnay zesty with bright fruit.

83 Points, "Highly Recommended", Beverage Testing Institute
83 points, Connoisseurs' Guide (May 2010): "Unexpected grassiness lends a decidedly unvarietal twist to the otherwise candied, slightly confected nose of this Chardonnay in Sauvignon Blanc clothing, and hard-charging acids bring so much finishing stiffness that the wine is hard to enjoy for more reasons than one."
