2006 Peter Michael "Point Rouge" Sonoma County Chardonnay dark fruit nose of blackThe 2006 Chardonnay Point Rouge (285 cases) is one of the candidates for Chardonnay of the vintage. A seamlessly ripe, rich, full bodied Chardonnay, notes of hazelnut, white peach, smoke, pears, tropical fruits are all present in this wine, which has great intensity, beautiful acidity, and tremendous purity. This is a brilliant, exuberant wine that is classic and flawless in 2006. (RP)
