Tasting notes
The 2018 Chardonnay Lancel Creek Vineyard gains perfume and detail with time in the glass, opening from notes of jasmine, candied grapefruit and tangerine peel to layers of roasted almonds and panna cotta. The palate is silky and expansive with unique expression, its sheer flavor intensity countered by a juicy crescendo of mineral-laced citrus fruits that carry the long finish.

Crushed lemon, poached pear, hazelnuts, and white flowers as well as incredible minerality emerge from the 2018 Chardonnay Lancel Creek Vineyard, one of the finest Sonoma Coast Chardonnay I've ever tasted. Intense, full-bodied, stunningly concentrated, and yet still ethereal and elegant, with incredible class and length on the palate, this is another sensational, magical Chardonnay from Ferren that should age nicely for 10-12 years, and I suspect even longer.
The 2018 Chardonnay Lancel Creek is a rich, expansive wine. There is something about the 2018 that feels so relaxed and easygoing. Lemon confit, white flowers, almonds, chamomile and apricot are some of the many notes that grace this exquisite Chardonnay from Matt Courtney.
