The Chardonnay O.F.S. is a cuvee that, in the days of Cecil Deloach, was one of the great Chardonnays of Northern California, and is now being resurrected by Jean-Charles Boisset, who owns this winery. The 2011 Chardonnay O.F.S. possesses more honeyed tropical fruit than its siblings as well as a richer, fuller taste profile. Good freshness and purity along with a judicious and discrete use of wood suggest it should drink nicely for 5-6 years.

Pure, ripe, layered notes of fig, honeydew melon and pear are elegant and delicate, gaining on the finish. Drink now through 2017. 1,144 cases made. –JL

This finest selection Chardonnay is a blend of the winery's various vineyards. It's pretty oaky, with vanilla, buttered toast and honey dominating, yet there are enough tropical fruit, orange, pear, and apricot flavors, and brisk acidity, to counterbalance the wood. -S.H.
