Tasting Notes/Food Pairing Suggestions
Beautiful pale-gold color. Enticing aromas of apple, pineapple, and creamy, smoky oak. The aromas carry through to the palate, and are joined by a mineral flavor that creates a stylish yet powerful wine that seems part Meursault and part Santa Barbara County in style. Truly a memorable Chardonnay. Pairs well with most fish, lobster, crab, chicken, and even many pork preparations. Particularly recommended with dishes using sautéed wild mushrooms or butter sauces.About the Name/Label
Luca is named after Laura’s son. The family crest (the McDermott family) that appears in the label’s background is that of Laura’s husband, Dan. Laura is continually inspired by the synthesis of cultures in her own family, and this international inspiration infuses the style and quality of her wines.Recent Press & Reviews of Luca Chardonnay
