2008 Dehlinger Estate Chardonnay

92pts(WA) The 2008 Chardonnay Estate offers even more popcorn, white currant, citrus blossom and steely, mineral-like notes along with a richer, full-bodied mouthfeel, excellent acidity and an elegant yet authoritative style. Consume it over the next 2-4 years. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate No 193 February, 2011

90 pts (IWC) Bright gold.  Ripe pear and nectarine on the nose, with complicating notes of hazelnut and dried fig.  Deeply pitched orchard fruit flavors are enlivened by juicy acidity, showing very good clarity and a touch of spiciness.  The spice character carries through the sappy, persistent finish, which features a subtle honeyed nuance.  This wine has the power to handle richer foods but its light touch allows it to work with more delicate fare.  Josh Reynolds Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar May/June 2011
