The first of three Chardonnays, the 2021 Chardonnay Russian River Valley pours a youthful and bright medium yellow hue and has lifted aromas of flinty wet stone, citrus blossoms, and ripe green pineapple. Medium-bodied, it has clean lift on the palate, with floral perfume of ripe pear, orange pith, and vanilla coaxing through the palate. This is a floral and fresh style of white to drink over the next couple of years.
