Tasting note
The 2013 Chardonnay Russian River is 100% barrel-fermented with 100% malolactic, aged eight months in 31% new French oak prior to being bottled. It's an excellent value, especially at discounters, where I'm sure it's probably priced as low as $25. White peach and a touch of honeysuckle are present in this elegant, pale wine that shows virtually no oak. It's a nice, medium-bodied, pure flavor profile with a good texture and finish. Drink it over the next several years. Drink: 2015-2018. Score - 91. (Robert Parker Jr., erobertparker.com, Dec. 2014)
