Tasted blind. Pineapple, baked citrus, loads of tropical fruit. Really gorgeous. Yum yum, this is Chardonnay and its fruitiest and most alluring. Sonoma? (RH)

Pale greenish straw. Admirable freshness and quite a bit of acidity and bite on the end. No hurry to drink this. Quite long. No more than medium bodied – but I like that! Relatively GV . (JR)
The 2019 Chardonnay Russian River Valley is fresh, with a ripe, classic character of peach, toasted spice, and flinty reduction. The palate offers more concentration, with noes of green apple and pear, although it is driven with acidity.
The 2019 Chardonnay Russian River Valley has gregarious scents of baked apples and apricot with wafts of baking spice and roasted almonds. The medium-bodied palate offers expansive fruits and refreshing acidity, finishing long and energetic. 11,858 cases produced.
