Keep it up, Hugh

2005 Lynmar Winery Chardonnay Russian River valley, California
Lynmar’s very own tasting notes say it all:
“Aromas are fresh and vibrant--fragrant Bartlett pear and spicy applesauce go head to head with distinct notes of lemon custard and ripe mango. There is also a noticeable minerality which is much more upfront this vintage than in the past. Nuances of yeasty fresh rising dough are in the background, which we know will turn wonderfully “toasty” with a little more bottle age. Where this vintage really shines, though, is on the palate. The entry is deceptively soft with no hard edges. A remarkable flavor density is then apparent, seamlessly flowing into a rich mid-palate and bracing acidity.”
Looks like Hugh Chappelle has done it again as winemaker there at Lynmar! Keep up the good work, our palates thank you!
$35.99/ Bottle
