Reviewed June 2023Toasty aromas of hazelnut brioche, lemon glaze and lychee make for a very engaging nose on this bottling. The palate grips with textural glee, offering citrus pith, white peach and pineapple flavors that should appease both acid freaks and butter lovers. (MK)

A blend of Chardonnay from Pisoni and Soberanes vineyards, the 2021 Lucia "Estate Cuvee" Chardonnay is rich and layered with red apple, white flowers, crème brulee, and white peach. The wine continues to unfold through the midpalate, with lemon oil and crushed stone flavors adding brightness and complexity while baked pear, clove, nutmeg, and brioche linger through the long, densely packed finish.
Notes
Jeb Dunnuck has described the label: "The Pisoni Family’s Lucia label continues to be a source of incredible wines that always over-deliver." From the winery: "Grown exclusively from our Pisoni, Garys’ and Soberanes vineyards, the Lucia appellation-based wines are a wonderful representation of our estate vineyards, of which each block is cultivated to the same high standards. These wines offer excellent value, and Jeb Dunnuck has previously described these AVA blends as “a perfect example of the incredible quality that’s consistently coming from this estate.”
