The 2014 Lutum Chardonnay from the Sanford & Benidict vineyard is a fantastic effort from winemaker Gavin Chanin. It releases classic aromas of wild spring flowers, citrus, orange blossom, crushed mineral and tropical fruits which burst out of the glass. On the palate it possesses a beautiful creamy texture, balanced by a gorgeous touch of acidity and a dash of citrus marking the finish. This is delicious now and will also continue to gain complexity over the next decade. (Best 2016-2025) - May, 2016 (MD)
