The Double L Vineyard is well situated to produce Chardonnay of the highest caliber. Located near the northern tip of the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA, the vineyard receives brisk afternoon breezes from nearby Monterey Bay. North-south vineyard row orientation allows for optimum sun exposure on the Highlands’ east - facing terraces. Wind and sun combine for a long growing season, resulting in vibrant fruit flavors with balanced acidity. The vineyard was certified organic in 2002, although it has been conscientiously farmed in this method since the original plantings in 1997.
WINE ENTHUSIAST 94 POINTS - "Fine lines of toast and lemon curd make for a focused yet full nose on this bottling from organic grapes. There is tremendous tension to the grippy palate, where lemon and grapefruit-peel flavors cut through the white-fleshed fruit core."
