| Tasting Notes 2007 Landmark Vineyards Chardonnay Damaris Reserve Sonoma County "($40) Green-gold. Powerful aromas of orchard fruits, orange, sweet butter, lily of the valley and smoky lees, plus a strong undercurrent of iodine; smells like a serious, old-school Chassagne-Montrachet. Round and fleshy, with deep, smoky pear, sweet citrus and licorice flavors and slow-building spiciness. The smoky and floral qualities resonate on the finish, which is impressively incisive and long." 93 points--Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar "Rich, unctuous and full-bodied, with tiers of ripe apricot, melon, fig and citrus flavors that are intense without being heavy, ending with a dash of smoky oak. Drink now through 2016. 2,000 cases made." 92 points--James Laube, Wine Spectator "The light gold-colored 2007 Chardonnay Damaris Reserve is sourced from Sangiacomo (89%) and Lorenzo (11%). It exhibits a beautifully scented nose of honeysuckle, caramelized orange rind, peaches, apricots, and subtle background oak. Full-bodied with outstanding purity and richness as well as a nicely layered texture, this is a lovely effort from proprietors Mike and Mary Calhoun. It should drink well for 3-4 years given its acid profile. Winemaker Eric Stern judiciously uses wood as a complementary seasoning, which is evident in all these Chardonnays." 91 points--Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate |
