Buehler Vineyards Chardonnay 2017
Russian River, Sonoma County, California, United StatesYou expect the Russian River fruit to project more than Sonoma, upping the intensity and tropical notes, and this is the case here. Meyer lemon, nectarine, honey, ginger, and toasted oak leaves the palate broader than sharper, thanks to a full malolactic fermentation. As I suggested last time, it is more New World chardonnay than Euro, but it finishes with just enough vibrancy to hold your interest. Drink now with baked halibut, creamy seafood dishes, or vegetable pasta. The wine comes off off two sites: the fleshy, led by the peachy fruit of Wood Vineyard, located on River Road; and the more mineral, floral notes of River Vineyard, located in the heart of the Russian River Valley on East Side Road. An up-and-down vintage of weather, fortunately, the fruit was all picked before the catastrophic fall fires.Tasted: 02 April 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $29.99 | 750ml | Jak's Exclusive |
