Rodney Strong Chardonnay Reserve 2013

Russian River, Sonoma County, California, United StatesThe RS reserve comes off ‘meticulously farmed sections of some of the very best vineyards in Russian River Valley. The fruit was picked on September 20th at an average of 24.2 brix. Look for an inviting spicy floral, honey, citrus, nutty nose with vanilla, creamy, baked apple and pear aromas. The mid-palate is juicy with fine acidity and more creamy, nutty, nectarine, citrus, salt and vanilla flavours on the palate. Bright, cool fruit that is fun to drink. The winery suggest you serve it with grilled veal chops and mushrooms, pan-seared scallops or spaghetti carbonara.Tasted: 28 January 2016Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
