4/29/2016 - Dezel Likes this wine: 92 pointsLa Rochelle Wine Dutton Ranch-Morelli Lane Vineyard 2011 Chardonnay (SRP $65): La Rochelle Winery specializes in small-production, single vineyard Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines from some of California’s top sites. The fruit for this Chardonnay was sourced from Morelli Lane Vineyard in the Russian River Valley. Yellow-gold in color, this wine is attractively textured with a bracing acidity, which nicely balances the rich array of orchard fruit, lemon curd, and tropical-tinged flavors. There are delicate nuances of brioche and mineral that melds into the lively and long, fruit-forward finish. Enjoy on its own or with grilled salmon, rotisserie chicken, or pasta topped with a white wine cream sauce. Only 91 cases of this wine were produced. Region: Russian River Valley, California. Other info: ABV 14.2%, 15 months maturation in French oak – 50% new, 50% second use, cork enclosure. |
