Lewis Chardonnay Barcaglia Lane Vineyard 2012
A truly obsession-inducing Chardonnay with vivid, tropical fruit flavors masterfully balanced across a voluptuous texture with an ethereal finish reminiscent of cotton candy. Launching forth with a strikingly bouquet of blood orange and spiced apple. This is a tremendous new effort that includes notes of honeysuckle and citrus oil with delightful accents of creamy oak on the aforementioned finish that lasts a full 30 seconds. Savor every sip now for a 96 point rating that we predict will evolve gracefully into a 97+ point experience through 2017. I plan to add several of these bottles to my personal cellar. 96-97 points.
