This balanced, elegant wine perfectly reflects the coolclimate Russian River Valley vineyard where it was grown. Brilliant yellow-gold color, with honey, pear, apple, pineapple, clove, seashell, damp soil and white flower aromas, plus a hint of vanillin oak. The wine opens brightly with lush-textured fruit that transitions from citrus - lemon and lime - to tree - apple, apricot, and nectarine - fruit on the full-bodied mid-palate. Medium acidity turns lightly saline on the lively and bouncy mineral-laden finish of this delicious Chardonnay.
