Wine Review: This Chardonnay offering from B.R. Cohn is pale straw in color and opens with a shy pear bouquet that includes butterscotch, wet stone and earthy undertones. I also detected hints of baking spices and oak. The body was light to medium and the mouthfeel is soft, smooth and slightly dry. I enjoyed the flavor profile featuring apricots, citrus and hints of butter and oak with some nicely balanced acidity. The finish was also slightly dry with a touch of minerality. I found this Russian River Chard to be food friendly and I would pair it with linguine with a white clam sauce. – Joe

Winemaker Notes: From a truly great growing season, this Chardonnay is sourced from select vineyards in the acclaimed Russian River Valley region of Sonoma County, where the cool climate allows the grapes to develop ripe, rich flavors, while maintaining a bright and refreshing acidity.
