Dry Creek Vineyard Chardonnay Dcv Estate Block 10 2016 750ml

Chardonnay is balanced, rich and harmonious, year after year. At first swirl, aromas of baked apple, asian pear and apricot fill the senses. After a few moments of airing, nuances of fresh lime, honeysuckle and candied ginger come forward. The palate is filled with rich flavors of poached pear, meyer lemon and pineapple, with notes of nutmeg and cinnamon. The mouthfeel is broad and expansive with juicy, delicious acidity. The balance between fruit, oak and acid is harmonious from start to finish. An elegant, refined wine from our estate vineyard in Russian River Valley.

This is a well-made wine from a specific site, seamless in full-bodied texture and sumptuous flavors of golden honey, baked apple and pear. Dottings of nutmeg provide additional punch and intrigue, while a lifted braid of acidity shines on the finish.
