2016 Barrel 16 Chardonnay
Russian River Valley / Sonoma County
Our Barrel 16 Chardonnay is a showcase of our finest Chardonnay lots of the vintage. The wine begins with plentiful aromas of Golden Delicious apple, peach cobbler and honeysuckle. The entry to the wine is rich and supple, developing into restrained spiciness and subtle suggestions of oak. Notes of Anjou pear, tangerine, white florals, ginger and toffee linger on the stunning, silky-textured palate.
