BOTTLE NOTES: In the heart of the Russian River Valley, magnificent vineyards descend with redwood groves to meet the Pacific. This cool oceanic influence reveals the rich tropical flavors of the Chardonnay fruit. Straw to gold in color, the lush pineapple, honey and ripe golden delicious apple flavors abound, all contributing to great length and finish… a perfect glass of wine.

TASTING NOTES: Crisp and light, this is a fresh take on traditional Chardonnay. A touch of dryness and a subtle note of tartness lends a delightful facet to this very drinkable wine. Zippy and excellent for food-pairing, this young wine promises a tantalizing future as it matures.
