Gary Farrell 2012 Rochioli Vineyard Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Rochioli Vineyard
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Gary Farrell / Russian River Valley

This flinty Chardonnay shares a full oak expression with a whiff of petrol, suggesting a decant or cellaring until 2016 to fully soften. It offers sublime lemon curd and minerally peach flavor amid tangy acidity and a bright finish. It displays a ying-yang between polish and power.
