Landmark Damaris Reserve Chardonnay 2009

Complex aromas of lemon grass, orange blossom and marzipan are concentrated with hints of honeysuckle, mint and a slight minerality. Layers of white peach, citrus and cream create a focused mouth feel. The wine is rich and lush with balanced acidity, great structure and a long finish.

The Petaluma Gap is characterized by being a very cool, windy, fog influenced area. The vines are nine years old and produce very balanced wines, with yields just over two tons per acre. The blend is 64% Wente clone and 36% Robert Young clone.
