Winemaker's Notes:
Our 2010 Russian River Valley Reserve Chardonnay, medium straw in color with a dynamic golden edge, offers forward fruit with minerality that is lifted and framed by sweet oak notes and spice. On the nose, look for toasted brioche, lemon curd, and baking spices with a smoky mineral note that highlights fresh green apple aromas. Creamy and concentrated flavors focus on fresh fruit: peaches, apricots, and green apples, along with orange zest. This wine has weight on the palate, rich viscosity, and a lifted, lemony finish with a gentle touch of toast.
