2020 Gary Farrell Chardonnay Russian River

Winemaker Notes:  It is a true testament to thoughtful winemaking that even in such a warm vintage, this wine shines as brightly as the acidity laced within. It begins with intense aromatics of fresh cut lilies, chive blossoms, zesty lemons, limes and pithy white grapefruit. The abundant citrus on the nose persists on the palate as you are greeted with invigorating notes of freshly squeezed lemon juice, jasmine green tea and spicy wasabi arugula. This all comes together seamlessly on a silky palate with delicate undertones of crème fraîche and Marzipan.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wine Enthusiast - "This buttery but not extreme wine is scented with popcorn and butterscotch followed by good acidity, cream and golden apple flavors, and a touch of lemon. It is nicely balanced, layered and oaky."
