The 2009 Vinehill Chardonnay has almost no color advancement. It is a deep yellow color with just hints of gold in the color. The aromas are more of a green pears Bosc pears with hints of chalky minerality. this is a really fresh wine not showing as much age as the first three. This wine has a good richness with a strong core of acidity. It does not have quite as much fatness is as the 08 was showing. But it also has a little less structure on the back but a strong character of really ripe grapefruit lemon citrus in the mid-palate to the back palate. This is a really complex interesting wine not showing the spiciness of the aged versions however.

This is good. Beautiful ripe citrus, apple, honey, spice with wonderful texture and popping acidity.
