Lot #324. Peter Michael Chardonnay La Carrière 2019

Description: Consists of 12 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 96-97 WA.
"La Carriere is situated at an elevation of around 1,200-1,700 feet with a rocky, shallow, volcanic soil that gives low fertility and is among the lowest yields of all the Peter Michael vineyards. The vineyard is planted to Dijon and Hyde (Old Wente) clone selections. A tank sample due to be bottled in the next day or so, the 2019 Chardonnay la Carriere reveals delicate scents of fresh green apples, white peaches and preserved lemons with hints of chalk dust, orange blossoms and coriander seed. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers a satiny texture with bags of freshness lifting the mineral-tinged citrus flavors to a long finish. 2,836 cases were made." Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate Interim, Feb 2021
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $1,100
