Krutz 2010 Martinelli Road Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Martinelli Road
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Krutz / Russian River Valley

Napa Cabernet specialist Krutz has been looking for a place to buy grapes for Chardonnay. Now they have a Russian River bottling, and it’s quite a good one. This shows the region’s brisk acidity and minerality, as well as a purity of orange, pineapple, apricot and green apple fruit, elaborated with sweet new oak. Drink now, with upscale fare.
