I continue to really enjoy this Russian River Valley chardonnay. It seems to be the Goldilocks of Chardonnay's, just the perfect amount of restrained oak and butter to produce an elegant chardonnay.

Floral notes on the nose with nectarine, peach, apple and lemon custard on the palate. Silky and smooth with enough acidity to balance the fruit and a medium long finish. 75% malolactic fermentation, 10 months in barrel with 10% stainless steel, 60% neutral and the remaining in 90% French oak. There is a really nice creaminess as a result of the lighter touch of oak as opposed to an unoaked or a heavily oaked chardonnay. Delicious! Purchased 6 more and wondering if that is enough.

Notes of peach but not sweet, slight butter. Deliciously drinkable, pairs well with chicken

Floral notes, melted butter and vanilla on the nose. Flavors of oak, vanilla, apple and slight caramel flavors as it warms in the glass.

Straight forward Chardonnay. Light and easy on the butter. Green apple, vanilla, and light fruits. Smooth and simple. Great with risotto. (BE 2019)
