RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY | CALIFORNIA |$40
Oak. Lots of it. Behind that, guava, mango, citrus, almonds, honeysuckle fresh herbs and stone minerals come through. Complex flavors, indeed, but the story here is oak. A big wine with a viscous, weighty mouth feel. A very good wine, provided you like oaky Chardonnay. Did I mention it has some oak? (Reviewed 7/4/11)
