Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2011 Peter Michael "La Carrière" Knights Valley Chardonnay (93RP, 92ST, 92WS). Wine Advocate: "From a cold, rain-plagued year, the 2011 Chardonnay La Carrière exhibits a light straw color with a greenish hue as well as notes of honeyed brioche, orange marmalade, buttery citrus and terrific fruit. More evolved and seductive than the 2010 at present, the 2011 is a beautiful wine... The Peter Michael estate has grown considerably with their vineyards in the Fort Ross-Seaview region of the Sonoma Coast region producing some remarkable Pinot Noirs, and their Chardonnay vineyards in Knights Valley having been at the top of the qualitative hierarchy for many years. (RP) " (12/2013)

Included in this lot · 6 bottles

Pale yellow. Deeply pitched aromas of pear, white flowers, anise and smoky minerals. Penetrating and pure, with intense orchard and citrus fruit flavors nicely framed by bright acidity. Nervy and tight in the middle, with a honeyed nuance coming up with air. Shows very good clarity and power on the long, mineral-drenched finish. This Chardonnay is carrying 15.2% alcohol but it doesn't show. (ST)
