The 2019 Chardonnay (Russian River Valley) is a very pretty and complex appellation-level wine. Apricot, chamomile, dried flowers, mint, hazelnut and honey are nicely pushed forward. This deceptively mid-weight Chardonnay packs a pretty good punch. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, June 2022)

Bright, smooth, and nutty, not too oaky, sweetens when paired with slightly bitter food. Went wonderfully with a pesto-salmon meal.
