WINEMAKER'S NOTE
"bright yellow-gold. Exotic, perfumed bouquet of tangerine, peach, anise, shiso leaf, iodine and spicecake. Juicy, broad and impressively concentrated citrus, pear and melon flavors are framed by juicy acidity and turns smoky with air. Finishes with excellent cut and an echo of smoke and baking spices. An impressively balanced and sexy midweight." 92 points; Stephen Tanzer's International wine cellar (May/June 2008)

    The 2006 Chardonnay Damaris Reserve (61% from the Sangiacomo Vineyard and 39% from the Flocchini Vineyard) possesses more steely mineral and crushed wet rock characteristics as well as hints of freshly mowed hay, nectarines, and mangoes. It is a distinctively-styled, medium to full-bodied, leesy, orange rind, and brioche-scented and flavored Chardonnay to consume over the next 1-2 years. The always reliable Landmark winery continues to turn out a bevy of Burgundian-styled Pinot Noirs and impressive Chardonnays.
