Donna rated this wine as 90/100
The Trinchero family began making wines here in the 1990s, but this property has been home to a winery since the 1800s. The 2011 Chardonnay offers ripe tropical fruit notes with vanilla, nuts, apple, peach and pear. The palate has more tropical fruit with big oak and a rich and creamy mouthfeel. Made in a very popular style, this will be a delight. Source: Vintages Wine Panel, Feb. 2013

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
