2018 | Hess Persson Panthera Chardonnay | Russian River

The wine opens with enticing aromas of baked apple, pear, and citrus zest layered with notes of toasted almond, honeycomb, and vanilla. On the palate, Panthera Chardonnay delivers a luxurious mouthfeel with flavors of ripe peach, lemon curd, and crème brûlée, supported by vibrant acidity and a touch of minerality. The finish is long, smooth, and sophisticated, leaving hints of spice and oak.
