La Crema Russian River Chardonnay 2003
Russian River, Sonoma County, California, United StatesAs you would expect the Russian River chardonnay is bigger and richer on the nose and in the mouth. Creamy lees and lush honey tones mix with ripe apple fruit. Fifteen lots of mostly estate fruit makes up the blend including about 20 percent use of the aromatic Ruid? Clone. This juicy delicious hedonistic chardonnay but all within a modern framework of more fruit and less overt oak. Well done.Tasted: 02 September 2005Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $39.99 | 750ml | speculative listing - Summit Fine Wines |
