The 2014 'Loner Flavonius' Chardonnay is sourced from the Bien Nacido Vineyard. It opens with a ripe bouquet of smoke, crushed stones and fresh sliced apple on the nose. The palate reveals wonderful flavors of lemon crème brûlée, Gala apple, cardamom and butterscotch. The salinity, weight and smooth texture of this wine is really outstanding. An absolutely stunner, this gorgeous Chardonnay will continue to pick up lovely nuances as it evolves over the next decade.
