Note di degustazione
Leighton’s 1994 Chardonnay Cuvee LD is made from an old Wente clone. It exhibits notes of subtle pineapples, poached pears, citrus oil, and background oak and charcoal scents. Crisp and full-bodied with impressive balance and harmony, it should continue to evolve for 8-10 years. The idiosyncratic Terry Leighton, who has produced some magnificent wines that have stood the test of time for nearly two decades, releases his wines 2-10 years later than most producers. I have always loved them, and I have been remiss in not reporting on them as frequently as I should. He often makes what may be the finest Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon in California. Tel.

Pale yellow-gold, with a green tinge. Fresh, ineffable aromas of ginger, candied orange peel, lavender and pine nut. Fat, sweet and deep, with a real 3-D texture. Like liquid velvet yet possesses excellent cut. A wine of great sucrosity, but kept fresh by its shell of acidity. Finishes very long and brisk.
