2008 Chardonnay Russian River Valley
|
|
| Description | Customer Reviews |
This wine comes from the famous Russian River Valley appellation. The unique soil and climate found here allow Russian River Valley Chardonnay to rival the great White Burgundies of France.
This 2008 vintage utilizes traditional winemaking techniques of barrel fermentation followed by sur lie aging. These steps enhance the wine's generous fruit characteristics of apple and pear with a pleasant richness and creamy texture. The 10 months the wine spent aging in oak barrels provides a pleasant, smoky note to the nose. Firm acidity ensures the wine is bright and lively in the mouth. A Chardonnay of this caliber is always a welcome addition to a fine meal, providing a graceful counterpoint to a wide variety of foods.
