ROBERT PARKER 95 POINTS The light green/gold-colored 2008 Chardonnay Zio Tony Ranch reveals more butterscotch, honeyed mandarin orange, citrus oil, brioche, leesy, waxy notes along with full-bodied richness and a California style that mimics a premier cru Meursault with its hazelnut and subtle smokiness. Drink this stunning Chardonnay over the next 7-8 years.

Full-bodied and viscous, gaining depth and nuance on the long, tapered finish. Drink now through 2017.
