One of my favorite wines is Lapis Luna's Romanza, which is a lovely blend of Zinfandel and Sangiovese. I have had their Merlot, and I have had their Petit Verdot, and maybe a couple other red varietals like their Cab Sauv. However, I do believe that this is the first time that I have tried one of their white wines.

This wine is phenomenal, bursting forth with a melange of decadent flavors. What is most interesting is that it is 100% Chardonnay; no other varietals are mixed in (take that Kendall Jackson Vintner's Reserve Chard). I taste honeysuckle, passionfruit and melons, with maybe even some pineapple in their. Other people have written about pineapple and butterscotch. Hey, different folks taste different things.

The body is between medium and light, and when you take in the wine, you're given a nice dose of exotic citrus and tempered acidity which cascades down gently into what I would call a buttery finish.

This is a great wine!
