Rodney Strong Chardonnay 2009

Sonoma County, California, United StatesThis wine is on auto drive after almost 40 years with winemaker Rick Sayre allowing the cool Pacific Ocean to govern its style: namely New age Sonoma chardonnay. Cool nights and warm afternoons produce a vibrant chardonnay that is now a 40/60 blend of barrel and stainless steel fermented fruit grown in the Russian River, Alexander Valley, and Sonoma Coast appellations. Look for a bright, citrus nose with hazelnuts and baked apple and peachy fruit flavours in the finish. Would be an absolute steal at $19.Tasted: 31 December 2010Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
