Landmark Overlook Chardonnay 2016

Rated 91 Points by the Wine Spectator

#78 on the Top 100 Wines of 2018!

One of our top selling Chardonnays before the rating and Top 100 list came out, we're thrilled to have this under $20 Sonoma Chard back in stock. 

An elegant blend of premium fruit from Sonoma County, the vineyards used in the Overlook Chardonnay represent some of the best that 2016 had to offer. Greg Stach, Landmark's winemaker used his extensive expertise in selecting the finest sites and by using excellent viticultural practices, truly exceptional fruit was harvested from respected parcels such as the Russian River Valley, Petaluma Gap and Sonoma Carneros. The Chardonnay is hand harvested, hand sorted and fermented using all native yeasts providing the purest snapshot of what this vintage had to offer.

Landmark Vineyards was founded in 1974 by a group of people including Damaris Deere-Ford, the great-great-granddaughter of John Deere! By 1989 Damaris was the sole proprietor of Landmark Vineyards and by 1991 she found that the site that she had chosen for the winery was quite conducive to growing Chardonnay and decided to turn all of her focus on making the best Chardonnays possible. 1991 was also the first vintage of today's featured wine, the Landmark Overlook Chardonnay. Soon after, in 1993, Damaris partnered with Helen Turley who helped create the signature style of the winery that is still used today - whole cluster pressed grapes, fermentation using native yeasts, and aging in French oak barrels. 

With the careful attention to detail, in 1997 Landmark Overlook Chardonnay made the Wine Spectator Top 100 list for the first of six times, including this past year, 2018 for the 2016 vintage. 

Rated 91 Points by the Wine Spectator - "Well-built and rich, with a solid core of apple pastry, fig and guava flavors that offer a creamy texture. Nutmeg and clove notes show on the spicy finish. Drink now through 2022." 

Fans of this Chardonnay should be quite excited by this email, and if you aren't yet familiar with this pinnacle of Sonoma Chardonnay we know that you'll be happily surprised!

Cheers!
