Our smooth and inviting Russian River Valley Chardonnay is a crowd-pleasing showcase of the best of this classic cool-climate region. Showing wonderful length and fullness, rich notes of citrusy orange blossom, spiced pear, toasted vanilla and a subtle touch of sage brown butter at the forefront evolve to bright hints of Meyer lemon, grilled pineapple and ripe yellow apple on the mid-palate. The finish is long, crisp and clean, a perfect choice for enjoying alongside food. Try this beautifully balanced Chardonnay alongside creamy Dungeness crab tagliatelle, wilted spinach and lemon zest or, for a heartier dish, try seared pork chops with apple cider jus and a Gruyère and mustard potato gratin. For a cheese pairing, try a mild cheddar with fresh apples, pickled mustard seed and honey.
