Other Reviews...
The 2004 The Olive Grove Chardonnay (one-third barrel-fermented and some put through malolactic) possesses good texture along with lemon butter, honeysuckle, pear, and lemon grass notes. With fine ripeness, medium body, and little evidence of wood, it will drink well for 1-3 years.
