"The 2012 Chardonnay Luminus, from Big Ranch Vineyard in Oak Knoll, is drop-dead gorgeous. A wine that impresses for its impeccable balance, the 2012 brings together expressive varietal notes in the classic Beringer style that emphasizes freshness. A sweet perfumed finish laced with honey, Chamomile and nectarines rounds things out nicely. The 2012 was fermented in oak, but the malos were partly blocked to preserve acidity and cut. Winemaker Laurie Hook has done a fabulous job with her debut effort from this site, which sits in one of the sweet spots for Chardonnay in Napa Valley."
