The intense fruit flavors and complexity of this Chardonnay makes this wine ideal for entertaining guests and pairing with a wide variety of culinary delights. This wine is very aromatic, fruit forward, loaded with aromas of lemon and lime, and accented with nougat, green apple, spices, pear and touches of wet stone minerality. True to the Russian River Ranches style, the wine is beautifully focused with a nice, bright acidity balanced by a long focused finish and a light mid-palate creaminess. Crisp and zesty flavors of lemon drop, green apple, white peach and lychee are accented with a nice barrel spice and persistent lime.
