Tasting Notes
FineWine International
The 2002 Vineyard 8 Chardonnay exhibits an intense nose of tropical fruit mixed with citrus and spice. The fruit flavors echo the aromas and on the palate and the wine is mouth filling. There is a long, lingering finish and the subtle flavors of Seguin oak add to the wine's complexity while not intruding on the purity of the fruit flavors. If the 2001 Vineyard 8 reminded one of Chassagne-Montrachet, the 2002 reminds one of Corton Charlemagne. Those who like a boldly flavored, full bodied wine will not be disappointed with the 2002 Vineyard 8 Chardonnay.
Dan Berger's Vintage Experiences
"Exceptional: Vineyard 8 Chardonnay Substantial oak notes, but not buttery or over the top, with attractive tropical and citrus notes, lower alcohol (13.8%), and great acidity. Big, but balanced."
Wine Enthusiast 92
"Fresh and racy, with big, tight acidity and a stony minerality that brings the Central Coast to mind. There are underlying fruit complexities of lime zest and pineapple, with a buttercream texture and a sweet layering of toasty oak. Distinguished Chardonnay."
