Lost Canyon 2010 Ruxton Vineyard Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Ruxton Vineyard
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Lost Canyon / Russian River Valley

The chilly vintage has produced a very dry, young wine whose flavors veer toward acid-inspired mineral, citrus peel and apricots, rather than the riper flavors of a warmer year, such as 2008. The result is a tight Chardonnay, one more geared for revealing complexities than for opulence.
