Raeburn Winery, Russian River Valley (Sonoma County, California) Chardonnay 2019

 California’s Russian River Valley is a near perfect wine growing region, warm in the daytime and cooled by the fog that rolls in off the Pacific Ocean almost every evening.  With its bright, fresh flavors and refreshing nip of acidity on the finish, this Chardonnay is further enhanced by savory nuances of vanilla and oak (75% of the wine was fermented in French and Hungarian oak barrels).
