Always an aromatic treat, the 2023 Russian River Chardonnay entices with fresh baked apples, golden pears, a dash of warm spices, and a generous squeeze of crisp lemon. The medium bodied palate is layered with orchard fruits, crushed ginger, citrus zest, and a hint of brioche. The tangy acidity is crisp and bright, while the slight creaminess from lees aging rounds out the edges into a satisfying, persistent finish.
