heady and well made, handley's whispering oaks, a certified-organic vineyard near the ukiah valley gets more heat than the winery's estate vines, giving this wine a fuller body and texture than its 2011 estate chardonnay. with flavors of pear, apple and spice, it's crisp yet rich with just the smallest ounce of a barrel imprint, a match for roast chicken with herbs.
