Wine Review: This yellow colored Chardonnay from the Russian River opens with a fragrant and appealing pear and oak bouquet with a hint of pineapple and banana bread. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, slightly acidic and a little juicy. The flavor profile is pear and oak with notes pineapple. I also detected hints of butterscotch and green melon. The finish is dry and its flavors and mild acidity linger nicely. This Chard would pair well with chicken cordon bleu. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Aromas of Meyer lemon, nectarine & jasmine. Flavors of yellow plum, d'Anjou pear, tangerine and toasted hazelnut. Richly textured, velvety and concentrated with balanced acidity and subtle toast.
