2019 / Chardonnay

2019 Lorenzo Chardonnay

Located near the Laguna de Santa Rosa, the Lorenzo Vineyard is the coldest chardonnay vineyard site from which Landmark receives grapes. As one of the earliest chardonnay plantings in the Russian River appellation, this vineyard’s location in combination with the age of the vines allow the fruit to fully ripen at a slow pace, profiting from that coveted “hang time”. Due to these factors, the grapes retain the natural acidity, fruit character, and elegant structure for which the Lorenzo Chardonnay is known.

Tasting notes

Complex with aromas of white peach, chamomile, and toasty oak. The palate is full with ripe citrus, Golden Delicious apple, and barrel spice on the entry. The midpalate features chamomile, toasted brioche, and a distinct salinity. The long finish features sustained fruit along with herbal notes and oak accents. Despite its richness on the palate, fresh acidity and a sense of salinity keep the palate clean throughout.
