Russian River Valley

Russian River Valley Chardonnay is California's fog-cooled Sonoma benchmark: a ripe but balanced white from a cool coastal appellation where nightly ocean fog checks the sun, so the grape keeps its acidity even as it ripens fully. Expect Meyer lemon, yellow apple and baked pear wrapped in a creamy, malolactic texture and measured, toasty oak — richer and rounder than steely Chablis, yet fresher than a warm-inland California Chardonnay.
