Rich, full and creamy textured with a long seductive finish.

Brilliant yellow straw colour with a watery hue. Intense ripe peach, apricot and honeycomb scents intermesh with crème brulee, bacon fat and subtle butterscotch notes. Rich, full and creamy textured, the palate is flush with ripe peach, apricot and crème brulee flavours. Notions of honeycomb, bacon fat and spice lie underneath. Some underlying fresh acidity lends balance to the long seductive finish.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.

Other Reviews…..
Coming from across the neighborhoods of the Russian River Valley, the 2022 Chardonnay Russian River Valley is ripe with aromas of toasted spice, orange rind, preserved lemon, honeysuckle, and baked apples. Full-bodied, with a ripe, classic feel, it has a nice, rounded mouthfeel and offers a lovely sense of place. Drink 2024-2030.
