Benovia Chardonnay 2021 (Russian River Valley, CA)

Producer Notes: This lively Chardonnay is bursting with aromas of citrus blossom, yellow Mellon, and white peach. The nose is filled with sun-ripened apricot and white peach, knit together by balanced acidity and a long-complex finish. Barrel fermentation and oak aging for 13 months have added hints of toasted almond, and spice cake to a subtle minerality on the finish. This dynamic Chardonnay will drink well upon release and will improve with a year or two in the bottle.
