Winemaker's Notes
Ripe pears, toasty marshmallow and honeysuckle dominate the aromas of this blend. Nice warm vanilla, spice, ripe Bosc pears, minerals and roasted almond flavors linger on the palate. The follow-through in the mouth is rich, creamy and silky with a fresh pear/citrusy finish. A majority of this fruit is from our Drake Estate Vineyard and it displays the classic characteristics that you would expect from a Russian River Valley chardonnay. Alc. 15.0%.
