title: Sanguis 2010 Loner W10-a Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)
description: The Loner title seems to refer to an absence of oak, although it's not entirely unoaked. The wine spent time in what the winemaker calls “seasoned barriques” that lent no overt oak influence, but let the wine breathe and mellow. Marked by intense lemon, lime and mineral flavors, this bone-dry wine is elegant and eccentric.
variety: Chardonnay
designation: Loner W10-a
