Smith-Madrone Vineyard

1998 SMITH MADRONE Chardonnay, Napa Valley  Crisp Chablis style Chard carries a restrained, earthy citrus nose, with vague vanilla oak notes.  Tart pear and green apple flavors dominate, with any buttery, honey components conspicuously absent.  A crisp mouthfeel, with plenty of grapefruit citrus acidity, works perfectly for the lovers of the austere, subtle Chardonnay genre.     About $20.      04/01/00
