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!

Ripe. Toasty oak, hint of butteriness. Quintessential Russian River. Very tasty.
