Tasting notes
The 2013 Chardonnay La Hermana is gorgeous. Apricot pit, butter, smoke, spice and almonds meld together in a pliant, beautifully layered Chardonnay built on texture. Distinctive, nuanced and impeccably balanced, the 2013 is pure class. The 2013 is a blend of fruit from three sources; 60% Bien Nacido, 33% Dierberg and 7% Maldonado. Most importantly, though, the 2013 La Hermana is a real stunner.

(all neutral oak): Pale gold. Musky pear skin, yellow plum and Meyer lemon on the fragrant nose. Opens up nicely on the palate, offering juicy citrus and orchard fruit flavors braced by bitter quinine and dusty minerals. At once rich and lively, finishing with excellent clarity and a late note of honeysuckle.
