Wood dominated, short, blocky, rich, creamy, sweet and forward fruit, angular acidity, feels like partial malolactic

A very elegant and restrained RRV chard. Medium weight, creamy, just enough acidity for some bounce, nice fresh green apple and peach with a hint of wet rocks and grapefruit, subtle toasted hazelnut on the finish. Well done

Rarely do I enjoy Russian River Chardonnay like this. Not obtrusive oak use, delicate, nuanced, and fresh.

Spring has sprung. Get yourself some nice CA Chard. Mellow with just a touch of oak.

Slight oaky taste, some acidity. Primary flavor of pear. Subtle flavor of banana.
