Beringer Vineyards Luminus Oak Knoll District Chardonnay 2013
93 Points Parker - New release Inaugural release of a beautiful new Chardonnay from Beringer. 91 Points Robert Parker: "The outstanding 2013 Chardonnay Luminus comes from the Oak Knoll sector of southern Napa Valley. About 25% new oak is used in this cuvée, and it is made from the newer Burgundian clones of Chardonnay as opposed to the Old Wente selection (which actually came from Burgundy many decades ago). This wine exhibits pineapple, poached pear, honeysuckle and buttery melon notes in addition to a subtle use of wood, and a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel. Consume this beauty over the next 4-5 years.

Not buttery or oaky. Thought this had very thin flavors and relatively bland.
