REGION: In only a few decades, Sonoma Countyâs Russian River Valley AVA has become one of the worldâs most highly regarded areas to grow premium Chardonnay. The regionâs diverse soils, sea fog-influenced microclimates and warm sunny days produce wonderfully expressive fruit with concentrated flavors and high natural acidity. . WINEMAKING: The whole clusters were harvested in the early morning and immediately pressed and transferred to stainless steel tanks for fermentation. The ferments took place at cool temperatures to preserve the Chardonnay aromatics and fresh flavor profile. The wine was then racked off its lees and a portion was transferred to seasoned French oak barrels where it matured until final blending and bottling. . TASTING NOTES: Appealing aromas of citrus blossoms, fresh pear and quince supported by hints of nutmeg. The palate is bright and expressive with flavors of lemon custard, salted almond and ripe melon. The long, succulent finish is round and balanced by a gentle tannin structure. .
