2018 Lucia Chardonnay ‘Soberanes' Santa Lucia Highlands

Winemaker's Notes: A blend of 100% estate fruit, the 2018 Lucia Chardonnay is sourced from select barrels of the Pisoni and Soberanes vineyards. Combining distinctive characteristics from different vineyard sites, two characters become one as this youthful greenish-gold wine fills the glass. The higher elevations of Pisoni Vineyards add rich notes of baked apple, Bosc pear, and lemon curd, while the rocky, unyielding soil of the Soberanes Vineyard showcases signature notes of citrus blossom and wet stone. On the palate, complexity reigns as depth and nuance of flavor mingle seamlessly with bright, age-worthy acidity and a persistent, structured finish.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Jeb Dunnuck - "There are two Chardonnay under this label, both terrific. The 2018 Chardonnay Santa Lucia Highlands boasts a medium gold color as well as Burgundian notes of mulled stone fruits, toasted bread, spice, and subtle oak. It’s rich, medium-bodied, beautifully balanced, and just a classic Chardonnay that does everything right. I’d drink it over the coming 4-5 years, yet I’m sure it will keep longer."
