Winemaker Notes

With lavish notes of white peach, spring flowers and Asian pear our 2020 Russian River Chardonnay delivers plenty of fresh fruit on the palate. There is light sweet spice baked apple with lightly honeyed orange rind interwoven with its silky elegant finish. The mouthfeel maintains a surprising weight and concentration on the mid-palate.

Wine Advocate Review
by Robert Parker

The 2018 Chardonnay Russian River has defined aromas of golden apples, lemon cream, fresh butter and hints of matchstick. The mediumbodied palate is ripe and savory with honeyed tones and a silky, expansive mouthfeel. It finishes long and uplifted. 230 cases produced. —93 pts.

Russian River

Our Russian River Chardonnay is a blend of chardonnay from Sophia’s Vineyard, the Charles Heintz Vineyard and the SMJ Vineyard (clone 809). Typically the Russian River blend expresses itself fully earlier than our appellation wines.
