Russian River Valley Chardonnay Reviews
Score: 87 | July 31, 2014 | Wine Spectator
Full-bodied, with ripe baked apple, spice and light cedary oak notes. The flavors stay true.
Score: 88 | August 1, 2014 | Wine & Spirits
Decant this to allow the initial reduction to blow off. Underneath there's a sappy Russian River chardonnay with exuberant fruit ripeness, the aromas suggesting peach and apricot. It's a sunny white to serve well chilled with grilled chicken.

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.

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.
