Russian River Valley Chardonnay Reviews

Score: 87 | August 1, 2013 | Wine & Spirits
A grapey chardonnay with the coffee-and-cream scents of oak, this is a smooth and simple white for roast veal.

Editor's Choice. Great acidity and minerality in this elegant young wine. Doesn’t show the rich concentration of De Loach’s single-vineyard Chards, but then again, it costs far less. It’s actually a good value for a try, minerally and complex Russian River Chardonnay. Don’t drink it too cold.

DeLoach Vineyards 2009 Chardonnay, Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California ($13) Vibrant mouthfeel and a floral undercurrent are preceded by a nose of crushed rose petals and apples. Its Asian-pear notes are not overly acidic, and there's a touch of effervesence throughout before a finish that's elegant and laced with tropical-fruit notes. http://www.slashfood.com/2011/01/06/sonoma-chardonnay-wine-of-the-week/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
