The 2005 Lorenzo Chardonnay continues to express the distinctive minerality of this 30+ year old Russian River Valley vineyard.  The tight acid leads to exquisitely focused lemon rind, tangerine and nutty flavors, integrated with sweet, toasty, smoky oak.  The 2005 Lorenzo is a wine that will age gracefully and promises to develop more complex aromatics with time.

The International Wine Cellar (May/June 2007):

"Bright gold.  Powerful orange, floral honey and gingerbread aromas lifted by a mineral quality.  Juicy and focused, with bright citrus and orchard fruit flavors deepened by a gentle toasty note.  Firms up on the finish, which features suave baking spices and serious persistence." 92 Points
