2013 Lombardi Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

14.5% alc., pH 3.42, TA 0.60, 48 cases, $36. Bottled April 27, 2015. Barrel fermented and aged 18 months in neutral French oak. · Moderately light golden yellow color in the bottle. A hint of flinty reduction upon opening transforms to pleasing aromas of lemon oil, kiwi and vanilla. The flavors of lemon-lime, apple and peach are vivid with oak playing a complimentary seasoning role. Soft and slightly viscous in the mouth, with an uplifting and cleansing finish. Score: 90.
