The 2014 Russian River Valley Chardonnay was sourced from 41% Dutton Ranch Vineyards, 19% Martinelli’s Laughlin Road Vineyard, 15% Rochioli Vineyard, 13% Forchini Vineyard, 11% Westside Farms Vineyard and 1% Hyde Robert Young Vineyard. The wine was aged for 12 months in 13% new French oak prior to bottling and offers aromatics of roasted pineapple, butterscotch and ripe banana which fill the glass. Beautifully balanced and textured, yeilding flavors of poached pear and banana accents which continue through the long finish. This exceptional wine will be at its best now or over the course of the next decade. (Best 2017-2027) - December, 2017 (OB)
