On the nose strawberry fields forever, feral and savory with high end notes of sage and spring grass. On the palate under ripe bing cherry and tart cranberry, smoked duck and rhubarb. Savory and long with piercing fruit and mineral.

The 2022 Lumen Santa Maria Valley Chardonnay offers aromas of bartlett pear, ripe peach, fresh red apple, succulent, spring rain and fennel. On the palate, the thin line between the old world and new world. Fresh as the morning dew yet everything that California promises in Chardonnay and rarely delivers…this one does.
