A Best Buy |
| The Russian River Valley experiences some of the coolest, foggiest conditions in the state and as a result has a long growing season. This allows the grapes time to fully ripen and develop great complexity of flavour without sacrificing freshness and vibrancy. The region is home to some of the finest Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays produced in California. This Chard will offer ripe tropical and citrus fruit with the AVA's famed intensity and balance. A fine choice for grilled lemon salmon. |
