This incredibly aromatic Russian River Chardonnay boasts fresh, lifted aromas of honeysuckle, white
peach, green apple and honeydew melon. The palate unfolds with flavors of roasted nectarine,
Meyer lemon, ginger-honey brioche, lime zest and a just fleck of hazelnut adds layers of richness
and complexity. The finish is bright and crisp, with a rich, creamy texture that carries through to the
tangy, persistent finish.

This layered and complex Chardonnay brings together fruit from several of our favorite Russian River Valley vineyard sites. Anchored by the naturally balanced character of Westside Farms and intriguing floral and stone fruit notes from Bacigalupi Vineyard, the wine’s great concentration and structure derive from the nearby Rochioli and Allen vineyards. Olivet Lane Vineyard, featuring the Wente clone, adds refreshing citrus tones and excellent acidity.

Wine Spectator Review:
This shows good concentration and complexity, with honeysuckle, caramelized pineapple and lemon blossom aromatics up front, backed by juicy peach, apple and salted melon notes. Details of toffee, marzipan and dried herbs linger at the end. Drink now. 4,578 cases made.
