The 2017 Russian River Chardonnay is pale gold in color, with an exotic nose of kiwi, lime, anise and linseed. Exceedingly intense and rich, the wine remains balanced thanks to the structure provided by the naturally high acidity. The palate displays an array of flavors, from juicy apple and sweet Meyer lemon to brioche and caramel. The finish leaves a lingering impression of pomegranate and lightly toasted oak.
