The 2013 Chardonnay Russian River begins with gentle wafts of smoke and matchstick, fleshing out to almond cream, pastry, baked quince and loads of dark spices. The palate is satiny and expansive, its still-fresh, ripe fruits just hinting at notes of earth and mushroom, and it seems to last forever in the mouth. It's a gorgeous, mature Russian River Chardonnay that's drinking wonderfully now but will continue to hold for another 3-5+ years in the cellar. 10,450 cases were produced.
