Rochioli-Allen Vineyard Oak Puncheon

2013 Russian River Valley Chardonnay

The Gary Farrell Rochioli-Allen Vineyard Oak Puncheon Chardonnay from the 2013 vintage showcases the exceptional qualities of the Russian River Valley. This wine is beautifully luminous with a pristine white hue that beckons you in. On the palate, it presents a full-bodied experience, balanced with a bright and lively acidity that refreshes the senses. The richness of the fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of ripe stone fruit along with hints of citrus, which are elegantly complemented by subtle oak nuances. Tannins are strategically delicate, allowing the wine's creamy texture to shine without being overly weighty. This Chardonnay finishes with a delightful dryness, making it an impeccably food-friendly choice for a variety of dishes, from roasted chicken to creamy seafood pastas. Enjoy this delightful expression of the terroir, which beautifully captures the unique microclimate of the vineyard.

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.
