Ladera, Russian River Valley (Sonoma County, California) Chardonnay 2016

 I like what’s happening across the board at Ladera — well made, structured wines from top to bottom.  This Chardonnay is sourced from an aptly named vineyard, with white peach, tangerine soft vanilla and subtle spice riding comfortably in the aromatic and flavor profiles, and leaving you with a bright goodnight kiss of acidity in the finish.  Delicious!
