2008 Lewis Cellars Chardonnay Barcaglia Lane Russian River valley
90pts(WS) Fresh, firm, intense and vibrant, with spicy green apple, honeydew melon and honeysuckle that are full-bodied, slow to unfold, gaining depth, richness on the finish. Drink now through 2014.—James Laube Wine Spectator Insider Vol6 No 18 May 5, 2010.
Winery Notes:
Our Barcaglia Lane, like the Reserve Chardonnay, receives four
additional months of barrel aging on the lees resulting in beautiful
texture and detail. It is sourced from a single rolling vineyard in the
Russian River Valley, part of the famed Dutton Ranch. Planted for us in
1998, the site consists of 3 sloping blocks planted to three different
clones. Record low yields in 2008 slashed production by 40%, resulting
in excellent fruit quality. Fragrant, ripe orange and vanilla are
naturally appealing with notes of cinnamon, oak spice and piecrust. An
orchard of core citrus fruits forms the supple and satisfying palate
with lively acidity and an exotic, lingering finish. 350 cases produced.This is a California wine.
