LAKE SONOMA WINERY 2O1O RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY CHARDONNAY

LAKE SONOMA WINERY 2O1O RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY CHARDONNAY
This Chardonnay was made with grapes that were whole-cluster pressed and the clear juice was barrel fermented in small French oak barrels.  An additional five months of barrel aging with frequent stirring of the fermentation lees contributed smooth texture and understated oak nuances.  It showcases aromas of citrus, tropical fruit and green apple, along with hints of vanilla and bread dough.  The flavors are nectarine, green apple and a background note of lime.  Suggested retail is $16.  Available from Horizon Beverage Company.
