Robb Report "100 Perfect Pours, Treasures of the Vine"
Pfendler 2007 Chardonnay
Proprietor Kimberly Pfendler has carried on the dream of her late husband, Peter, pursuing perfection in the vineyards the couple began planting on their ranch in Sonoma County in 1992. This Chardonnay, grown during the spectacular 2007 vintage, is like liquid sunlight. Lemon cream coats the fresh, tart apple fruit and spiced pear, before the wine's zesty acids rinse the palate clean. - Brett Anderson  See review.
