Tongue Dancer, Russian River Valley (Sonoma County, California) Chardonnay 2021

 Tongue Dancer makes a range of Chardonnays (and Pinot Noirs) highlighting the uniqueness of the vineyards from which they source the grapes.  This one, in contrast, is a blend of several vineyards from throughout the Russian River Valley.  It is an opulent Chardonnay with all the richness you would expect from grapes grown in the Russian River Valley.  However, the talented winemaking team prevents it from being over the top.  So, it is powerful, but not too.
