Deep gold. Abundant nose of dried apricots. Confirmed on the big full palate which adds white pepper and lots of vanilla bean. Acidity is moderate, but enough to compensate for the massive dollop of oak and apricot. Lengthy, continuing finish. The new entry point for the oaky Carneros style. Enjoy with hearty seafood or poultry dishes. Drink now.

100% Chardonnay from the Carneros AVA, CA. Crafted by the River Road Family Vineyards, known for producing exceptional wines at a great value. Grapes sourcing takes place from both estate-owned and family-owned vineyards, putting together an elaborated expression of the varietal, winemaking, and hard-working people to result these unique wines.

This is a creamy Chardonnay with a more elevated acidity and stony fruits. The mouthfeel is incredibly fresh and alive, some white pepper and the balanced toast makes an integrated and harmonious long finish. This wine pairs amazing with white sauce pastas. Cheers!

Lemon & honeysuckle in the nose with lemon, lime & honeysuckle in the palate. Full-bodied wine that paired well with white cheese
