Reserve

2013 Russian River Valley Chardonnay

The Simi Reserve Chardonnay from the renowned Russian River Valley exhibits an elegant and full-bodied character that captivates the senses. This vintage, crafted from grapes grown in a cool climate, showcases high acidity that adds a refreshing brightness to the wine, making it exceptionally mouthwatering. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of luscious flavors that include ripe pear, stone fruit, and subtle citrus notes, complemented by a touch of vanilla and toasted oak from its careful aging. Its dryness is well balanced, ensuring that the rich flavors do not overwhelm, while the soft tannins provide a smooth, velvety texture, enhancing the overall drinking experience. This Chardonnay is a true testament to the quality and expression of the terroir, making it an exquisite choice for any occasion.

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.
