Wine Spectator
“Fresh lemon curd, grilled pineapple and peach cobbler notes are round and expressive on an appealing, fleshy frame, with a crisp thread of acidity, plus details of candied ginger and baking spices. Dried orange peel and lemon verbena linger on the finish. Kosher. Drink now. 406 cases made.”
Highlights
Covenant Chardonnay Lavan Sonoma Mountain Kosher
"Lavan” (which means “white” in Hebrew) is sourced from the 10-acre Scopus Vineyard at the top of Sonoma Mountain. This 100% Chardonnay is whole cluster pressed and then barrel-fermented in French oak (10% new) with native yeast. Aged in French oak for 16 months, it is lush-textured and elegant—reminiscent of fine white Burgundy.
The high-altitude, north-facing Scopus Vineyard harnesses a blend of lush California flavor tempered with cool-climate structure hanging on firm acidity and moderate body. Stone fruit, citrus and spice come to mind on the palate, all marked by the vineyard’s classic mineral core. There’s a modest hint of toasty oak framing the ensemble, which ends long and fresh.
