The 2010 Chardonnay Lot 5 came from yields less than half of the Falaris cuvee while spending 9 months in French oak. Light gold in color with notions of toast, mineral, floral notes, and tropical aromas, it displays a creamy palate, excellent depth, vibrant acidity (a pH of only 3.02), savory flavors, and a pleasure-bent personality. Drink this impressive Chablis-like effort over the next 3-4 years. Vina Leyda, named for the region in which it is located, specializes in cool-climate wines. The new collection ranges from excellent to outstanding.Importer: Winebow, New York, NY; www.winebow.com
