The warm growing conditions of the 2001 vintage resulted in aromatic and richly flavored Chardonnay at Canoe Ridge Vineyard. The wine shows dominant aromas of pear, apple and toasty oak accented with hints of butterscotch, sweet lime, vanilla and baking spice. The mouth feel is rich and the finish is long and silky.

Rating: 89/100 - As reviewed by Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar on Nov-04.
