Almost crisp 2011 Chardonnay from Russian River Valley honeyed peachy fruit - big in alcohol @ 14.1% more delicate than its Napa cousins.

2011. Clean and refreshing, but a bit basic.

Always a stunner, layers of creme fraiche, pineapple, coconut, and apple. Showing beautiful oxidation, beginning show its age in the most beautiful way. Why can’t all Chardonnay be like this?

A splurge for a Chardonnay but you will get something interesting and with a lot of depth. Definitely not your typical California Chard.
