Staff Pick Notes

When Chardonnay is done well, it is a real treat. There is a bright, balanced acidity that lifts the gorgeous fruit and delicate spice aromas over the palate! The vineyard management approach is a natural one, so you can feel good about the juice in the bottle. The vines are also located in the top producing sections of Russian River A.V.A..
