Lake Sonoma Chardonnay 2018
Russian River, Sonoma County, California, United States45% of this Russian River Chardonnay is barrel fermented in 30% French oak (15% neutral barrels), with the remainder fermented in stainless steel. 75% of the juice goes through a softening malolactic fermentation during its one year of ageing. The result is a fresh wine with notes of pear, pineapple, butter, and vanilla. The palate is similar with more ripe peach, pear, melon, and mandarin. A New World chardonnay that pairs well with grilled scallops, buttered clams, Dungeness crab, and seafood pasta.Tasted: 03 October 2020Tasted by: Prices:BC | $26.99 | 750ml | select private retailers |
