title: Loring Wine Company 2013 Sierra Mar Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Lucia Highlands)
description: Charred vanilla beans and lemon custard greet the nose on this single-vineyard bottling by Buellton-based Brian Loring. The flavors are quite subdued at first, and then unleash green pears and red apples, with lime pith bitterness and a wet slate minerality that arises toward the finish.
variety: Chardonnay
designation: Sierra Mar Vineyard
