Girard Winery
Russian River Valley Chardonnay
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
From grapes grown in the Russian River Valley, an ideal climate for allowing the grapes to slow ripen, and sourced from several vineyards. The Chardonnay sits on 100% French oak, of which about 35% is new. Pouring a glass I noticed a nice pale yellow color with aromas of stone fruits pear and vanilla spice scents. The palate showed crisp fruit flavors, mostly pears, apples and melons, with bright acidity, a touch of oak, minerality and a smooth creamy finish. An exception value. Will not disappoint!

Excellent Chardonnay for a sunny Easter party just enough oak but not too much to be heavy
