2006 Lucia Pisoni Chardonnay
The 2006 Chardonnay is produced from three small blocks at Pisoni Vineyard. The mountainous estate has garnered a great deal of acclaim for its Pinot Noir, but few connoisseurs are aware of the tiny trio of Chardonnay parcels on the property. Originally planted in 1982, these old Chardonnay vines have prospered in the cool climate of the Santa Lucia Highlands.
A pretty and light-straw color is followed by aromas of stone fruit, Bartlett pear and some lifting citrus notes. The palate is full but restrained by gentle acids. Moderate levels of new oak contribute to the silky texture and long finish.
