Wine Review: This dark yellow colored Chardonnay from Wind Racer is impressive. It opens with a lemon and pineapple bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, balanced and rich. Like the nose, the flavor profile is a tasty pineapple and lemon blend with notes of nicely integrated oak and hints of quince. The finish lingers and lasts for a very long time. This Chardonnay can certainly be enjoyed on its own. With food, I would pair it with lemon butter scallops over parmesan risotto. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Bright aromas of Mutsu apple, shortbread and lemon zest with lovely flavors of Asian pear, marzipan and Creme brulee to create a rich wine that proudly boasts fresh acids and a long finish. The classic flavors and profile of the Russian River Valley shine through this beautifully integrated wine.
