This proprietary labeled wine has made its mark on the Chardonnay landscape since its first vintage a few years ago. It has found the spot between full malolactic heavy oak styles and lighter fruit driven if somewhat dull styles in a sweet way, delivering a delicious mix of apple, pear, mango and gentle spice in both aroma and flavor profiles, with Russian River Valley’s signature acidity knitting it all together. Well Done! A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.
