Leeuwin Estate's reputation for Chardonnay is based on their Art Series, but the Prelude Vineyards bottling can offer decent value. Less so for the 2006, which seems tight and citrusy, lacking the bold opulence that marks the best Leeuwin Chardonnays. It's a solid wine, imbued with pleasant tree-fruit flavors and balanced acids, finishing crisp.
