Pours into the glass a bright gold. First swirl and you are greeted with layered notes of citrus, pear, apple and white flowers, followed by subtle hints of vanilla, baking spice and minerality. The best part, the first sip. The medium body has a creamy, textured mouthfeel is silky and alive with bright acidity. You are greeted with flavors of lemon zest, lemon curd, honeydew melon, quince and gardenia, followed by brown butter toffee, sweet oak spice, hazelnuts, brioche and a long lingering finish on freshness and salinity. Its plush, complex and beautifully balanced yet retains its freshness and vibrancy. A Chardonnay that showcases the terroir of the Russian River Valley beautifully.

Pair with lobster tails drizzled with garlic butter sauce, grilled pork chops with apple compote or mild, creamy cheeses like Brie or Camembert
