A beautiful hue of gold with a slight yellow tint, this 2020 Chardonnay has lively aromas of Granny Smith apple, Meyer lemon, and a hint of vanilla. It exudes a perfect balance between elegance and richness for a medium-bodied. mouth-filling wine. The grapes are grown in the Russian River Valley, filled with foggy mornings, sunny days, and cool nights proving ideal weather to provide long growing seasons.
WINEGROWING NOTES
The quality of California’s Russian River Valley is fantastic. It is one of California’s coolest and foggiest AVAs creating a perfect climate for producing highly acclaimed wines from Chardonnay. This wine was aged 3 months in French oak barrels, and 9 months in stainless steel, culminating in the perfect Chardonnay with an elegant finish.
2020 VINTAGE
2020 was a unique vintage, and the quality of the resulting wines presents itself in bottle. A dry winter with just half of the region’s typical rainfall, was followed by a warmer-than- average summer. Berries were small. with concentrated flavors. This led to small yield. but powerful grapes, culminating in an elegant Russian River Chardonnay, one we are extremely proud to provide.
