Gary Farrell 2005 Westside Farms Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Westside Farms
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Gary Farrell / Russian River Valley

This is a single-vineyard Chard grown on Westside Road, in the heart of the northern valley’s Pinot country. It’s a very elaborated wine, high in acidity, showing tiers of tart green apple, Kaffir lime, pear, smoky oak, and Champagne-like lees and brioche flavors. Just great, and should hold for six years or more.
