2019 Porter Creek Russian River Valley Chardonnay

Producer: Porter Creek  
Region: Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California 
Varietal: Chardonnay  
Year: 2019 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Nose of fresh lime and lemon; juicy pineapple on the palate with fleshy texture and a long, crisp finish. A little bit of a waxiness reminds one of great Burgundy.

Produced principally from our own hillside parcel and and blended with one very small older vineyard in the in Green Valley neighborhood of the Russian River Valley. Both vineyards are planted with the very small berry clone “Old Wente”, which is known for rich body and aromatic complexity. The cool growing season and lower yields of 2018 further enhance acidity and brightness. The percentage of new French oak barrels is strictly held to a maximum of 30% to keep vineyard character in the forefront." 

Alcohol: 13.7%
