Lake Sonoma Chardonnay 2018
Russian River, Sonoma County, California, United StatesSome 45% of this Russian River Chardonnay is barrel fermented in 30% French oak and 15% neutral barrels, with the remainder fermented in stainless steel. 75% of the juice goes through malolactic fermentation during the one-year ageing period. The result is a bright, fresh wine with notes of pear, pineapple, and vanilla. The palate is similar with more peach, pear, melon, and mandarin. It is an excellent match with grilled scallops, buttered clams, Dungeness crab, or pasta seafood dishes.Tasted: 11 January 2020Tasted by: Prices:BC | $26.99 | 750ml | select private retailers |
