Score 94/100 · Drink 2023-2029, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2021

The 2019 Chardonnay Sierra Madre Vineyard Le Souvenir is weightless and classy from the very first impression. Lemon peel, mint, white pepper and white flowers all grace this ethereal, finely-cut Chardonnay. The Sierra Madre is a signature wine in Paul Lato's range. The 2019 is another terrific edition. I very much like the acid-driven energy here.

The 2019 Chardonnay Le Souvenir Sierra Madre Vineyard just about jumps out of the glass with its orchard and citrus fruits, spice, and rocky, mineral, marine-like aromas and flavors. Coming from a site outside of Santa Maria, it's medium to full-bodied, has wonderful purity and precision, integrated acidity, and a great finish. It's unquestionably up with the top Chardonnay in the vintage and will keep for 5-7 years, although I see no need to delay gratification.
