2022 Allen Vineyard Chardonnay

Highly aromatic and perfumed, the Allen Chardonnay is a quintessential Russian River Valley Chardonnay at its best. Notes of spiced pear and yellow apple combine with hints of white flowers and tangerine. Subtle notes of allspice and nutmeg compliment the knockout nose. The palate is beautifully rich with outstanding acid that gives the wine an ethereal quality as if to glide across the tongue. Pear and pear skin flavors predominate. The structure of the wine is compelling with terrific tannins that transition to a delightful crushed mineral finish.
