93 points from Wine Spectator Insider: "Firm, rich and concentrated, offering a tight, full-bodied mix of fig, smoke and melon, with shades of nutmeg. Gains weight and complexity. Drink now through 2012." (March 25, 2009) This is the second vintage of Lewis Reserve Chardonnay to get an extra four months of sur lie barrel age, and it really adds to the wine's precision and depth. Always a winner, and the recipient of rave reviews from the critics, the Lewis Cellars wines fly off the shelves here at K&L. There were only 400 cases of this sublime Chard produced, so we don't expect that to change much here. Its nose is fresh, with hazelnut and wet stone aromas that add light to the Key lime and pear aromas. In the mouth, the wine is a mélange of stone and citrus, with bright acidity and a lingering texture.
