with vines grafted on rootstock because Baron expected phylloxera to arrive eventually

The wine is deep into its Golden Years with savory tones of smoked bacon

Good stuff here too

Tasted from a bottle from my personal cellar

This wine should continue to offer gorgeous and good-value drinking for another decade

Ferren, Lancel Creek Chardonnay Size:6x750ml with vines grafted on rootstockThe 2014 Chardonnay Lancel Creek Vineyard is a powerful, immediate wine. Huge on the palate, the 2014 has tons of density, but less in the way of finesse and nuance. For another producer, this would be a superb wine, but here, it is the least exciting of the three Chardonnays. Antonio Galloni
