Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: Sourced from the Russian River Valley, with its cool and foggy climate, this aromatic Chardonnay offers complex aromas of citrus, pear, and lime with vibrant floral tones. During the eight-month barrel-ageing period, the wine is hand-stirred on the lees resulting in a smooth and creamy texture. Ideal as a sipping wine. My note: Lovely balance in this beautifully constructed California Chardonnay. Peach, pear, green apple, vanillin and baking spices. Yum! Food matches: chicken or seafood prepared in light cream sauces.
