"What is the name of the winery?" Paul said he had not decided. Parker responded, "You have a tremendous talent. Hurry up with the name, because I want to be the first one to write about your wines."

94/100

The 2022 Chardonnay Le Souvenir Sierra Madre Vineyard is broad and robust yet poised and focused throughout. It opens with an exotic, flashy, slightly reductive nose framed with a gentle, leesy richness. On the palate, it is rich, velvety and seamless in texture before concluding with a finish that is equal parts decadent, deft and elegant. While quite open and generous now, this has enough of a structural rudder to develop beautifully in the cellar over the next 10 years.

If you're fortunate enough to have a tasting with the gregarious and eminently entertaining Paul Lato, be sure to leave yourself plenty of time before your next appointment, as your conversations will likely be numerous and wide-ranging. Lato's evolution is as inspiring as it is impressive, from humble beginnings to subsequent progression from sommelier to winemaker. Given the lavish textures on display throughout his work, one could be forgiven for describing his roster as quite stylistic, but that would be a disservice; Lato accomplishes the rare feat of transparently expressing vineyards yet doing so with an indelible fingerprint, a touch that is, in this case, confidently luxurious and manages to enhance the wines rather than muddle them. Production now occurs at the former Byron facility, where obsessive sorting, destemming, basket pressing and extended time in the finest barrels he can buy contribute to producing the multifaceted, sumptuous and classy offerings on display.

97/100

The 2022 Chardonnay Le Souvenir Sierra Madre Vineyard has a pure, crystalline nose of ripe stone fruits, white flowers, chalky minerality, and hints of minty herbs. This carries to a medium-bodied Chardonnay that has a layered mouthfeel, bright yet perfectly integrated acidity, and a great finish. It has just a kiss of background oak, and as with the other wines from Lato, it opens up beautifully with air. Drink bottles any time over the coming 7-8 years. I wouldn't be surprised to see it keep longer.

Paul Lato on Le Souvenir Chardonnay

A staple in our portfolio since 2007, this small parcel of Wente clone from Santa Maria Valley has been mistaken for a Grand Cru of Burgundy in many blind tastings. It is dry but rich with great velvety texture, nuances of linden flower, caramelized apple, chamomile tea and crushed rocks. Finishes long and satisfying with refreshing acidity.

Paul Lato's Wine Philosophy Från min erfarenhet av att smaka de finaste vinerna från hela världen har alla de bästa vinerna äkthet, harmoni och elegans. Det är de egenskaperna jag ständigt försöker fånga i mina viner. Det slutliga målet är att skapa viner som är sömlösa och texturella med tillräckligt med struktur och balans för att komplettera 'the fine cuisine'. - Paul Lato är en polskfödd yrkesutbildad och utbildad sommelier som första gången besökte Kaliforniens...
