2018 | Sonoma-Cutrer Vineyards | Russian River Ranches Chardonnay

Russian River Ranches is a soft pale straw color with slight green tinges on the edge. As the aromas of the wine leave the glass, you will be struck with a fruit forward bouquet of bosc pear, Honeycrisp apple and a subtle hint of citrus blossom. Delicate whiffs of nougat, roasted nuts and oak spice accentuate the tantalizing fruit scents. Your mouth will be enveloped with flavors of zesty lemon, green apple and barrel spice with just the perfect touch of minerality. The wine is refreshing and juicy with a beautifully focused, creamy mouthfeel that has bright acidity balance and a long, flavorful finish.
