90 - 2004 WAUGH CELLARS - Chardonnay Indindoli Vineyard Russian River Valley

2004 WAUGH CELLARS Chardonnay Indindoli Vineyard Russian River Valley
"Deep and wonderfully well-defined fruit is the clear star of this very generous wine, but plentiful sweet oak and scant touches of lees bring a nice boost in richness and an extra dimension of seriousness. Moderately full-bodied and nicely balanced, it has lots of immediate appeal, but its combination of substance and structure is a recipe for real improvement, and we would lobby for a couple of years in the cellar."

91 - Waugh Cellars (CA) 2004 Chardonnay, Russian River Valley. $30
Brilliant
yellow hue. Pear, almond and mint aromas. Medium-full with very good
concentration, this is a beautifully made Chardonnay with nicely
integrated oak, subtle spice and lively acidity. Lovely food wine.
90 € Waugh Cellars (CA) 2003 Zinfandel, Dry Creek Valley.

90 € Waugh Cellars (CA) 2003 Zinfandel, Dry Creek Valley.
Brilliant
ruby red hue. Raspberry, rose and molasses aromas. This medium-full
effort has big, juicy varietal fruit, a generous mid- palate and a
complete finish with nice fruit persistence, well- integrated oak,
balanced tannins and distinct spice.
