The profound 2007 Chardonnay Savoy Vineyard may be the finest Chardonnay I have ever tasted from Anderson Valley. Honeysuckle, nectarine, lemon oil, and crushed rock characteristics intermixed with a subtle hint of wood emerge from this Chardonnay (primarily made from old Wente clones). Full-bodied, with tremendous substance as well as freshness, it should drink well for 3-4 years.   Robert Parker

This is an impressive, up-and-coming operation in the Anderson Valley, and I can’t recommend their wines highly enough. Readers may remember my enthusiastic reviews from last year, and it’s good to see the continued high quality of the 2007s. The three single vineyard Pinot Noirs all enjoy 7-8 cold soaks, aging for 13-14 months in 44%-78% new French oak, and are bottled with neither fining nor filtration. All of them were scheduled to be bottled in early December, 2008. Robert Parker

($55) Saturated red. Ripe cherry-vanilla and blackberry on the nose, with complicating notes of cola and black cardamom. Deep in flavor but energetic as well, offering sweet cherry/berry qualities and slow-building floral pastille and herbal elements. Becomes spicier with aeration while gaining sweetness and power. For a rich wine this is strikingly lithe, with excellent finishing spiciness and precision. (JR) 93 points
