title: Lynmar 2005 Quail Hill Vineyard Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
description: Lush enough to drink now, with decanting, but this powerfully ripe Chard will benefit from limited aging. It's explosive in oak-infused pineapple, papaya, peach, green apple and Asian spice flavors, but right now the oak is not integrated with the fruit, making for a disjointed quality. Give it until mid-2008, and for a couple years after.
variety: Chardonnay
