94 WA. "A smoking effort that will give a number of more expensive Burgundies a run for their money, the 2012 Chardonnay Santa Lucia Highlands is loaded with mineral-drenched white flowers, citrus, lychee nut and brioche-like aromas and flavors. Aged 11 months in 35% new French oak and bottled unfined and unfiltered, it flows onto the palate with an elegant, taut and focused feel that carries solid concentration and acidity. Enjoy this knockout Chardonnay . . ." Wine Advocate #215, Oct 2014 |
