native yeast, a year on the less, spends a lot of time on the oak. 22 mos on oak? terrific nose, pretty. Bright up front but aged oak notes mid way. 7

Wow what a solid bottle of Russian River Chardonnay. Beautifully balanced fruit and oak, plenty of lemony acidity, great weight, beautiful with our Halibut Meunière.
