Product Description

JS99 "Pie crust with brioche, lemon meringue, lime leaf, and blackboard chalk. Very aromatic. Full-bodied, with terrific structure and incredibly complex on the finish with seaweed and umami. Sea breeze, iodine and oyster finish. Superb wine." JS Oct 2022

LP98 Lime cordial and tarte au citron notes jump from the glass of the 2021 UV-SL Vineyards Chardonnay, leading to suggestions of underbrush, struck flint, and fresh apricots with a hint of brine. The full-bodied palate is bright, tight, and refreshing, with a steeliness to the long, layered finish. This vineyard is named after one of Sonoma’s most reputable vineyard managers, Ulises Valdez Sr. (UV), who passed away recently. The site is on Stoetz Lane (SL), only six miles from the Pacific Ocean, up on the hills around Graton and Occidental. Aubert and Valdez Sr. collaborated on the planting of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir here.
