Crafted through minimalist winemaking from the esteemed Lorenzo Vineyard in the heart of Sonoma’s Russian River Valley, the La Follette 2017 Chardonnay comes from some of the oldest Chardonnay plantings in California - dating back to 1974.
On the nose, this Chardonnay offers aromas of Kaffir lime, Meyer lemon and Asian spice that lead into a creamy mid-palate that is powerful yet balanced with finesse and restraint. The new French oak barrels lend a subtle toastiness of grilled bread and hazelnut, while the natural acidity makes this Chardonnay amazingly crisp. This wine showcases its Russian River Valley origin just beautifully. Enjoy!
