Chardonnay from Russian River, California: Sebastiani Russian River Valley Unoaked Chardonnay 2008


This wine has a beautiful light golden color. The 2008 version shows clove-like spice, green apple and minerality, true to the Chardonnay varietal. Although not overly rich, it has more complexity and texture than most unoaked versions thanks to low yielding Chardonnay vines grown in Russian River Valley. Enjoy with your favorite appetizers at the start of the meal or with sautéed white fish and shrimp salads!

Pale gold hue. Forward aromas of orange blossom and banana peel. Creamy flavors of peach and vanilla with a crisp, lively edge of orange zest. Lengthy, well-structured finish with a defined mineral influence.
