Lafond Winery & Vineyards, Sta. Rita Hills (Santa Barbara County, California) Chardonnay 2017

Feb 19, 2019

By Rich Cook

 Big props to Lafond for consistently great wines like this crisp Chardonnay.  Judiciously oaked so as to accent the lemon and pear with easy toast and spice without overwhelming the fruit.  A bright acid kiss on the end freshens the palate and sets you up for the next bite of fresh baked halibut.  Oops — dreaming out loud again.  A Double Gold Award winner at the 2019 Toast of the Coast International Wine Competition.
