5	2002 2002 Barrel Select Chardonnay View Label Appellation: Santa Maria Valley Cottonwood Canyon Vineyard (Santa Maria, CA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines) Winemaker: Norman Beko The color is uniquely golden with a lemon hue while the oak & honey aromas branch out - with open time - to include honey, honeysuckle, lemon and coconut.

8	2003 2003 Chardonnay View Label Appellation: Napa Valley Forman Vineyards (St. Helena, CA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines) Sparklingly clear pale straw yellow color. A very clean and precise Chardonnay nose announces again the classic character from Star Vineyard. It’s never overwhelming but rather intriguing with its subtle spicy floral and lemon scents. This 2003 version was fairly ripe—24 , so there is some strength even to the nose yet it isn’t overdone. There is a definite creamyness to the texture but not without some spritley acidity to balance it. A sweetness is perfectly balanced with the acidity whic... ...read more Question? Comment?

10	2005 2005 Chardonnay View Label Appellation: Santa Lucia Highlands Arcadian Winery (Lompoc, CA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines) Winemaker: Joe Davis 2005 was an extraordinary vintage. Harvest was slow and leisurely, which is not unusual for Monterey. Bud-break occurred late February, which is typically two weeks ahead of other regions. The extra month of hang time on the vine produces fruit-forward characteristics that differentiate Monterey from other areas. Question?
