Lucia Santa Lucia Highlands Estate Chardonnay 2023

$4999

Lucia is the Pisoni family's brand, run by Mark Pisoni from the same legendary Santa Lucia Highlands vineyards that put the region on the world map. The Estate Cuvee Chardonnay pulls from Pisoni and Soberanes — two of the most sought-after sites in the SLH — and gets the family's signature treatment: hand-picked, native yeast, French oak. The 2023 vintage was a slow, late one in the Highlands, and the wine shows it: round, rich, and exuberant, with golden apple, allspice, white peach, and a stony mineral spine that keeps everything in balance. California Chardonnay with both California sunshine and serious structure underneath.

"Cleanly presented lines of lemon sorbet, white peach and apricot chunks pick up more density on the nose of this bottling with air. A citrusy acidity pops the palate atop seared apple and macadamia nut flavors that push into the long finish." —Matt Kettmann
