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.
