Chardonnay Russian River Valley

2023 Russian River Valley Chardonnay

The Lewis Cellars Chardonnay from the Russian River Valley, vintage 2023, is a delightful expression of this renowned Californian region. This wine beautifully epitomizes the lush and inviting characteristics of a high-quality Chardonnay. It greets you with a vibrant bouquet of ripe stone fruits, such as peach and apricot, intertwined with subtle notes of brioche and vanilla from well-integrated oak aging. On the palate, it presents a harmonious balance of rich, full-bodied texture and refreshing, crisp acidity, creating an experience that is both luscious and lively. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering a mouthwatering combination of ripe pear and citrus zest, while the finish is elegantly smooth with a touch of minerality. This Chardonnay is perfect for pairing with seafood, creamy pasta dishes, or simply enjoying on its own, savoring every sumptuous sip.

Sonoma County
Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.
