With its roots in the esteemed Nines Vineyard on Sonoma Mountain, the 2018 Lost and Found Cellars Chardonnay is a delightful expression of this unique terroir. Scoring a well-deserved 95 points, it captivates with bright citrus notes of lemon and lime, layered with subtle hints of ripe pear and a touch of creamy vanilla from careful oak aging. The wine’s vibrant acidity balances its lush texture, creating a refreshing finish that lingers beautifully. This Chardonnay shines alongside grilled seafood or a rich pasta dish, making it a fantastic choice for a summer gathering or a cozy dinner at home. Given its remarkable quality, it’s a smart buy for anyone looking to elevate their wine collection without breaking the bank.
