LUTUM Chardonnay, Sanford & Benedict Vineyard 2013

This excellent Chardonnay from Lutum is sourced from the famous Sanford and Benedict Vineyard in the Santa Rita Hills. The vines were planted in 1971 to soils comprised of Gazos clay loam. The wine itself is a beautifully balanced Chardonnay with aromas of green apple, candied lemon, vanilla blossom, pineapple, slate and fresh floral notes. It is very well made and focused through the core with lots of ripe peach, crisp apple and tropical fruit carrying over onto the finish. This is a remarkable Chardonnay and should not be missed.
