Russian River Selection Chardonnay



Medium lemon color with aromas of stone and citrus fruits and nutty toasty notes. On the palate flavors of peach, citrus and pear with vanilla and flinty notes, creamy texture. Medium+ finish, lively acidity, ending with fruit, nuts, toasty oak and savory citrus character. Nice!

The 2021 Chardonnay (Russian River Valley) is super-expressive right out of the gate. Tangerine oil, lemon confit, chamomile, spice and lightly honeyed notes all run through this creamy, inviting Russian River Chardonnay from Gary Farrell. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, July 2024)

Wow! Concentrated layers of pear and peach with a long balanced finish of spice and brioche. Delicious, classically-Californian Chardonnay. Very new world, but perfectly balanced at 13.7% alc.

Pale lemon with aromas of stone fruits with light wafts of blossom and spice. On the palate rich ripe apple and pear with a touch of zesty citrus fruits, crisp, with vanilla notes. Nice mouthfeel, vivid acidity, medium+ finish ending with citrus mineral character.

Really nice Russian River Chardonnay, elegant smooth and sophisticated with lovely notes of grapefruit, citrus blossom, mineral and hints of light butter and oak, round , smooth body with lovely balanced acidity and a splendid finish. A bit of an old world burgundy style. Lovely my score 90, drink to 2021

Very light nose with some river rock and a touch of oak. Mouth is lemon curd, kefir lime and light oak that would satisfy an non-fussy sauvignon blanc drinker.
