Flavor Profile
Beautiful stone-fruit flavors that manage to be rich and refreshing at the same time. A complex bouquet of ripe nectarine, green apple, tropical pineapple, and apricot opens up to fresh white peach framed by classic flavors of crème brûlée, lush vanilla bean and well-integrated, toasty oak. Enjoy an elegant creamy, lingering finish balanced by a firm underpinning of acidity.
Windsor Recommends
Impress guests with this special pour at your next dinner party or celebration. French in style with clean fruit and balanced acidity, this Chardonnay makes a great complement to braised chicken thighs or rosemary roast turkey.
About Russian River Valley
If there was only one word you could use to describe the key influence on the regional growing conditions it would certainly be “fog.” The vines soak up the afternoon sun, which brings the grapes along, gradually, toward maturity. They spend their mornings and evenings under a cool veil of coastal fog, which rolls in from the Pacific Ocean, just a few miles away. The persistent daily fog keeps the natural acidity bright and extends the growing season, often by as much as 15 -20% over neighboring regions, giving the grapes the all-important hang-time they need to develop peak flavor maturity
