About This Wine

Impress

Chardonnay

California Chardonnay is good, sometimes even great. The best comes from specific places, and it’s just possible that the Russian River Valley produces the best in the New World. Russian River has unique soils and cooling fogs that blow inland from the Pacific so the grapes retain acidity and develop texture. The Impress Chardonnay is a beautiful example of what makes Russian River Chardonnay so special: citrus, pear, apricot, and white peach fruit flavors play off of terroir-driven notes like wet stone, hibiscus, vanilla, and brioche. The flavors melt together into a decadent New World wine that you will want to come back to again and again.

Wine Region

Russian River Valley

Prized for its elegant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Sonoma's Russian River Valley is one of California's premier AVAs for cool-climate wines. Blessed with the Petaluma Gap—a break in the coastal mountains where chill, foggy air blows in from the Pacific—the valley also benefits from the effects of the Russian River itself. This draws cool Pacific Ocean air inland and creates blanketing fogs that veil the vineyards throughout the chilly mornings. The result is one of the state's longest and coolest growing seasons. Bracing acidity and complex flavors characterize wines from this region, which also includes excellent sparklers made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
