Chef Sam Recommends...
Neyers
Chardonnay Carneros District2008
"Complex and layered, offering a full-bodied mix of toasty vanilla
oak, ripe pear and fig, with touches of
floral and spice. Ends with a complex
finish.
Drink now through 2012."
"In many ways the most accessible of the
Neyers wines, and one that is long on
deep, sympathetically soaked, ripe-apple
fruit, this balanced bottling is
slightly rounded and almost supple in
feel with a fine sense of weight and
substance. It is not in the least soft
nor in any way sluggish, and, if a tasty
and slightly complex wine now, it is
nicely balanced and has the depth to
keep well past the near term."
