2018 Paul Lato Chardonnay “Le Souvenir” Sierra Madre Vineyard  Santa Maria Valley
NVWE Notes: There is at opening a plush creaminess to the nose of this lovely wine, and scents of golden fig, golden delicious apple, tarte tatin, honeysuckle, flint and hazelnut nougat fulfill its promise. It proves wonderfully supple and rounded on the palate. where quietly zesty flavors that mirror the aromas, fan-out and linger with a Puligny-Montrachet-like sense of class. Certainly delicious now, it will grow in elegance and dimension over the next two or three years. 225 cases produced.

The 2018 Chardonnay le Souvenir Sierra Madre Vineyard is a gorgeous, multidimensional wine that opens with loads of spicy accents and touches of toast, honeysuckle and baked apples. It's satiny and expansive in the mouth, packed to the gills with ripe, spicy flavor layers and finishing very long with great freshness that calls you in for another sip. Pure class! 225 cases produced. Drink Date 2020 - 2030. Erin Brooks 30th Oct 2020
