Lutum Chardonnay Sanford & Benedict 2013
Showing gorgeous aromas of lemon meringue pie, spice, and minerality, it offers a supple structure, rich mouthfeel, and plenty of ripe citrus and grilled pineapple. It culminates with a graceful, toasty finish that is focused and vibrant. This is simply delicious and will show well for another 3-4 years.
Lutum Wines Winery
LUTUM was born from a shared vision between Bill Price, entrepreneur and owner Price Family Vineyards, and winemaker Gavin Chanin. Their wine focuses on small-production, single-vineyard Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from prime vineyard sites in California. The name LUTUM is Latin for dirt or soil, referencing their mission to make wines that express these great sites, with little to mask the vineyards’ natural character. Together, they are the Bards of LUTUM.
