Harvested from meticulously farmed, low yielding vineyards in the heart of Russian River Valley, this wine is fermented entirely in French Oak, and receives regular lees stirring, full malolactic fermentation, and a light fining before being bottled down. The result is a chardonnay that offers concentrated flavors of baked apple and pear, notes of toasty vanillin, rich cream, and a touch of spice. The wine is full bodied, fleshy and exotic, a powerful yet exceedingly elegant expression of Russian River Chardonnay.
