title: Lumen 2014 Sierra Madre Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)
description: Vanilla cream, marzipan and apple custard hit the nose on this creamy, dairy-inflected bottling, but a fine line of Key-lime rind balances things. Pan-seared apples in lemon juice mesh well with saffron and dandelion as well as buttered toast with lime marmalade on the dynamic palate.
variety: Chardonnay
designation: Sierra Madre Vineyard
