    Joseph Phelps 2001 Ovation Chardonnay (Napa Valley)

    A very fine Chardonnay notable especially for its firm, crisp structure. The bright acids frame apple, pear and tropical fruit flavors that are well oaked, with a rich, leesy mouthfeel. Has the extra refinement and depth needed for excellence.
