Tasting notes
The 2019 Chardonnay Russian River Valley offers a clean, classic, impeccably balanced style carrying ample peach and orchard fruits, notes of toast, white flowers, and green almonds, integrated acidity, and a great finish. The purity of fruit is spot on, and this is classic Russian River Valley Chardonnay to drink over the coming 3-4 years.

The 2019 Chardonnay Estate is fresh and bright, with a minerally undercurrent supporting citrus fruits and touches of almonds, flowers and graphite. The light-bodied palate has a silky texture and lovely balance of bright fruit and nutty undertones, and it finishes long and fresh.
The 2019 Chardonnay Estate is a gorgeous appellation-level wine. Bright, floral and finely cut, the 2019 possesses terrific energy and cut, all in a gracious, airy style that is hugely appealing. Lemon confit, melon, dried flowers and a touch of spice linger. The Estate is a blend taken from across the property, and that complexity makes for a highly intriguing wine.
