This classic representation of Russian River Chardonnay from Lynmar features a selection of clones, each vinified separately and blended together, that show the range of flavors and textures that can be achieved in this climate. 

Vineyard

The 2018 Russian River Chardonnay is a blend of Rued clone grown on the Quail Hill Estate Vineyard and Clone 4 from Sweeney Vineyard and Wente clone from Suasannas.

Winemaking

Lynmar’s state-of-the-art, multilevel, gravity-flow winery allows the gentlest treatment of the grapes as they arrive in the cellar. Harvested in the cool, early morning hours, the delicate clusters are transferred to the press with a forklift to avoid pumping. The juice is drained by gravity, then allowed to settle and complete fermentation before being transferred to aging vessels.

This wine spent seven months in a combination of stainless steel and neutral oak

Tasting Notes

A clear bright yellow in the glass, clean aromas of lemon peel, white flower and golden delicious apple are apparent. Bright acidity on the palate transition to grapefruit rind, elderflower and lychee. Flavors of fresh stone fruit progress to a pithy finish which lingers on the palate. Enjoy upon release.
