Alexander Valley is one of the key winegrowing areas in California’s Sonoma County. One of the warmer parts of Sonoma, the vineyards stretch from the edge of the Russian river up into the foothills of the Mayacamas mountains that separate Sonoma from Napa. The wine was barrel fermented and then aged on the lees for 9 months.

Tasting Notes:

This is a full-bodied, round and flavorful chardonnay. Dense yet lively, with a bright golden hue it offers aromas of baked apple and pear followed by citrus blossom and white figs as well as subtle oak spice notes. The palate is rich and silky with good acidity that balances the wine. Flavors of lightly roasted hazelnuts, peach, pear and stone fruit are on the palate lead to a long finish of layering fruit and spice. Drink or hold.
