Loring Wine Company Chardonnay Sierra Mar Vineyard

Just as it was a few weeks back: delicious! With scallops in cream and sun-dried tomato sauce.

What’s not to love about a wine that is the color of mid-morning summer sun and delivers a nose of buttered popcorn and coconut. Plenty of golden apple pie with baking spices and toasted coconut along with a splash of vanilla and lemon cream. A “bigly” full bodied Chardonnay just as you would expect from Brian. Incredible balance for such a big wine. 14.3% alc. With home-made sweet potato ravioli with PM while home. Recommended.

The color of this wine continues to evolve and now is the deep gold of a mid-morning summer sun. The nose is ... is buttered popcorn! ... and golden apple pie with pineapple, caramel, vanilla and lemon cream. This vintage seems more balanced than the 2012 - no heat at all.

Pretty easy drinking at this stage, with a dollop of cinnamon-laced oak that fans out across the palate of the wine. Fair amount of glycerine too. Both of these attributes speak to what I would associate to Brian's style of chardonnay, and I respect the fact that he makes this style and never apologizes for it either! Finishes with some lemon peel/lemon brulee, giving the wine some backbone. Overall, this is a more approachable, fruit/wood centric style.
