Country: US / Ulises Valdez Vineyard
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Paul Hobbs / Russian River Valley
An awesome Chardonnay that gives everything you want in richness, yet frames it in a structural integrity rare in California. Dazzles with tropical fruit, green apple and pear flavors, with a brilliant overlay of oak that adds buttered toast and spice flavors, not to mention sturdy oak tannins. But it’s the zesty acidity, like a squirt of lime juice, that really elevates this wine.
