2020 Testarossa Winery Chardonnay, Lone Oak Vyd, Santa Lucia Highlands
$53.00
Tasting Notes: The wine has a medium yellow hue. Scents of apple, papaya, grapefruit, and apricot lead the initial profile of this Chardonnay. With time, elements of coconut, key lime pie, tangerine, and kiwi unite to offer a pleasing aroma. Once on the palate, these qualities segue to notes of grapefruit, orange, and stone fruits. There is a nice density and decadence to the texture while offering intricacy and brisk acidity. This wine finishes with subtle textures and lingering layers of flavor. 94 Points, International Wine Review: “… mineral driven and dense … Firmly structured, there’s superb integration of fruit and oak … Dense on palate, thick extract, good depth. Very rich long finish …” 91 Points/2 Stars, Connoisseurs’ Guide to California Wine: “… fairly full Chardonnay with a good deal of concentrated fruit at its heart, the Lone Oak example is at once both deep and very firmly structured …” Case Production: Only 425 cases produced Hold Time: Enjoy now or hold up to 5 years Alcohol by Volume: 14.2% Cheers to another unique wine club find!
