Chardonnay, Russian River Valley, Rochioli and Allen Vineyards

Chardonnay, Russian River Valley, Rochioli and Allen Vineyards Wine Details
Price:

Description: The combination of fruit from these two adjacent blocks of Russian River Valley vineyard provides the core for a wine with opulent aromas. The ripe apple, pineapple, pear and mango fruit are enhanced by toasted bread, hazelnut, smoke and vanilla notes. The flavors start with citrus and apple fruit and are lengthened by acidity inherent to grapes from this vineyard site. For me, the glory of Russian River Valley Chardonnay is exhibited in a wine with acidity, fruit flavors and mouth structure to support nuances created by toasted oak, fermentation, malolactic fermentation and lees contact.
