La Fenêtre 2009 Los Alamos Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Barbara County)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $35
Lots of fine structure in this Chardonnay, with crisp acidity, minerals and even some firm tannins giving a framework to the tangerine and smoky oak flavors. Feels tight and elegant in the mouth. Drink this upscale Chard with rich fare, like ahi tuna and steamed lobster with drawn butter.  — S.H.  (12/31/2011)

La Fenêtre 2008 Los Alamos Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Barbara County)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $39
This enormously rich, extracted Pinot Noir will please flavor-forward fans. It’s explosive in raspberries, cherries, cola, figs, bacon, orange zest and other umami tastes, wrapped into a silky texture and brightened with crisp acidity. Seems best now and for a year or two.  — S.H.  (3/1/2011)

La Fenêtre 2010 Los Alamos Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Barbara County)

  1. $34
Trading opulence for elegance, this Chardonnay tastes dry and streamlined, with tart acidity. It’s spicy, fresh and lithe, and it offers subtle citrus and flower notes.This should develop creamy, nutty tones over the next six years.  — S.H.  (4/1/2013)

La Fenêtre 2008 Los Alamos Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Barbara County)

  1. $35
Oak overpowers this wine, dominating with buttered toast and caramel flavors. Underneath is pineapple and peach fruit and zesty acidity. It would be nice to have the winemaker back off on the barrels and emphasize the underlying wine.  — S.H.  (3/1/2011)
