Description:
"Exotic aromas of pineapple and nectarine accented with hints of hazelnut, ginger and toasty spiced vanilla. The mid palate is laced with high note stone fruits yet seamlessly rounds into lemon crème finish. This wine exhibits a powerful purity of what the Russian River Valley is about." - Melissa Stackhouse, La Crema Winemaker

Varietal Definition
Chardonnay:
Chardonnay is by far the most widely planted grape crop in California and dominates California’s cooler, coastal, quality wine regions. The natural varietal ‘taste and smell’ of Chardonnay is surprisingly unfamiliar to many wine drinkers, as its true character is often guised with dominating winemaking signatures. Chardonnay’s rather subdued primary fruit characteristics lean toward the crisp fruitiness of apples, pears and lemon, but the variety’s full body is capable of supporting a host of complementary characteristics, such as oak, butter and vanilla. Regardless of what is the appropriate style for Chardonnay, the varietal continues to dominate vineyard plantings in every corner of the world. Close attention to clonal selection has made this broad geographic and climactic range of Chardonnay viable in thoughtful viticultural hands.
