Winemaker Matt Smith looked to the cool end of the Russian River Valley for this bright, complex Chardonnay. A wine from several marquee vineyards in this coastal AVA, we are fortunate to have such a tremendous offering. Fermented and aged in 100% French Oak Neutral Barrels, 18 months on the lees. Lees stirring and extended aging lend a rich mouthfeel. Long, lingering finish with bright acidity. This white is an excellent accompaniment to grilled fish or cracked crab or lobster with drawn butter.
