Estate Grown Damiana Vineyard Chardonnay 2013

13’ Thomas Fogarty Damiana Vineyard Chardonnay.

TASTING NOTES ( From the Winery)
Always our most opulent Chardonnay, Damiana has vivid fruit and buttressed by intense natural acidity. Power and grace. 

Orange zest, lemon/lime, hard butterscotch candy, soft creaminess to it. A splash of acid. Needs a 30/ 45 minute decanting. It’s still felt slightly short of what it will be!!

There’s no doubt this will taste better in a year. This is the current release. Will age nicely for another 8/10 years.

@Aaron Means Very enjoyable. 2 hours + after it’s been opened,it’s quite a spectacular Chardonnay.

Estate Grown Portola Springs Vineyard Chardonnay 2012

Don't know another Cali chard that has the degree of Burgundian-ness that this guy has. Oak is present but just enough for texture and complexity. Mineral and bright bright fruits....oh and acid. A ton of stuff you don't find in Napa/Carneros. Fuckin great wine! !! — 10 years ago

Satsum Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay 2009

This "Orange" wine sits on its skins for 21 days. Picked at 20 Brix from their Estate Langley Vineyard. Very savory with notes of dry grass & kumquats. Very esoteric & cool! Only 40 cases produced. — 12 years ago

Gist Ranch Estate Cabernet Franc 2013

Love the SCM wines! Lexington was recommended by House Family Vineyards (which also has a great CabSauv). This wine had a smooth start, and a nice typical CabFranc bite finish. Very enjoyable! — 7 years ago

Sine Qua Non

Patine Sta. Rita Hills Estate Grenache 2011

2011 Sine Qua Non Estate Grenache “Patine” from Manfred’s Eleven Confessions Vineyard. Opened this in Lexington a couple of weekends ago after about a four hour decant. Poured into a really bad wine glass in a really great hotel. Why does that always seem to be the case? Seems to be the case even in some 5 star restaurants. No? But I digress. (Apparently, I need to start traveling with my Zalto). Perfumed notes of white flowers and fresh berries. On the palate, mocha, plums and dark berry fruit turned up to 11. Notes of fresh cut herbs, spice rack and white pepper. Typical SQN endless finish. Exquisite acidity. Beautifully layered and wonderfully concentrated. This wine has an elegant, femininity about it. I’ve always sort of thought of SQN Grenache as feminine in character, I guess as opposed to Manfred’s rather muscle-bound Syrah. Although more than enjoyable now, I’ve gotta believe that it will only get better with some cellar time. — 8 years ago

At least it wasn’t a small water tumbler as served in some Italian restaurants... Then again, a Riedel would likely not meet your Zalto experience! We have yet to break into our Pantine box so thanks for the notes. Based on your 4 hr decant, no rush here.

Drinking really well. Lush and broad but not super-ripe. Delicious with a bone-in New York. — 11 years ago

I was not impressed but that’s because of being partial to Oregon Pinot. — 7 years ago

In a blind tasting, I might have mistaken the delicate lightness for Oregon. Nice acid and tannin on the finish. Elegant. — 8 years ago
