2009 CARTE BLANCHE CHARDONNAY "Oak dominates this Chardonnay, with buttered toast and butterscotch notes offering an immediate impact. Underneath the oak tones are very rich, opulent flavors of pineapple and orange jam and lime tart. It’s a bit jumbled now, but this may be a Chardonnay that can take some cellaring. Give it 3–4 years. — S.H. (9/1/2012)" — 93 Wine Enthusiast
