Bucher 2014 Rio Oro Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Rio Oro
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Bucher / Russian River Valley

This is the producer’s first barrel-aged Chardonnay, made from a blend of two vineyards and two clones, including one from their own estate on Westside Road. Sour and sweet alternatively, it finds a steely path to balance and soft layers of apple, Asian pear and a touch of ginger-topped butterscotch.
