2008 Chardonnay, Russian River

2008 Chardonnay, Russian River

PRODUCTION NOTES
Hand harvested in early September 2008, the grapes for this beautiful Chardonnay are from the Lone Oak Vineyard in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County. At the winery, the fruit was whole-cluster pressed and racked to new oak barrels where it sat sur lees until the end of July 2009, when it was bottled.

WINEMAKER NOTES
A rich and complex Chardonnay, this wine exhibits a wonderful mineral character as well as ripe pineapple, with hints of mango and vanilla in the bouquet.
