Chardonnay from Russian River, California: Lake Sonoma Russian River Chardonnay 2008


Rich, warm oak aromas give way to a complex nose of lavender, honey, brown butter and pears. The mouth suggests Red Delicious apples with hints of clove, toasted walnuts and tropical fruits, balanced by lively acidity in the finish.

This Chardonnay pairs readily with a variety of foods including fresh fruit, green salads, lighter pasta, poultry, pork and seafood.
