loads of citrus oils, baked apple, peach purée & grilled pineapple starts rich & creamy then gets a fresh lift and spike a acidity

The 2018 ‘Lingua Franca Estate’ Chardonnay is a downright stunning new Chardonnay from this storied estate and superstar winemaker Thomas Sarve. The smoky and flinty tones really arouse the senses, as lighter poached pear and vanilla cream aromatics round out this expressive bouquet. The palate has a silky mouthfeel with massive length and intensity. This would pass for a top notch Corton Charlemagne as the vibrant minerality, light salinity and earthy undertones complete this exceptional new bottling. Fully expansive and a delight to savor right now, the 2018 Lingua Franca ‘Lingua Franca Estate’ Chardonnay will have an exceedingly long life ahead of it. Try to resist this beautiful wine for another two years — if possible! Drink 2022-2040- 95

Reductive on pop, oaky on pour. Still in balance.

So. Damn. Good! Rich, but has laserlike acidity and minerality. Well done to the whole team, this deserves all the ratings and accolades it received. Has whiffs of Burgundy but you can definitely taste the new world touch. Simply stunning.

Good. This will better in another couple of years. Needs to integrate a bit more.
