Country: US / Edwards James Estate Bato Selection
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Paul Hobbs / Russian River Valley
This is a Chardonnay for red wine lovers. It’s full bodied and oaky, and it grows better as it warms in the glass. Airing brings out sweet honey, orange jam, apricot and tropical fruit favors, yet the acidity and minerality also develop, providing balance. The oak develops too, with buttered toast and butterscotch notes bringing additional richness.
