Lot 387 | 2022 Russian River Valley Chardonnay 750ml

Lot 387
2022 Russian River Valley Chardonnay

Complex and open-knit bouquet of ripe pear notes are lifted with crushed citrus and other stone fruit and haloed with citrus blossoms with vanilla, banana and toasty vetiver perfume. Great mix of stone fruit, citrus and tropical fruit notes. Balanced on entry with fleshy pear and banana up front exploding with citrus and crushed stone-minerality in the mid-palate before unfurling with more ripe tropical fruit, caramel and lingering vanilla and citrus. Obviously youthful on the palate, this wine will be singing in late Summer, early Fall. Fresh, balanced, ripe-yet-elegant and pretty, this is a right up the middle, classic RRV profile.

Overall rating: 4.5 / 5 from 8 reviews.

Reliable Chard!

"Like most deN Sonoma Chards, this is an easy buy/repeat buy. Vibrant fruit balanced with nice oak and malo, but everything in the right proportions. Worth 2X-3X in price compared to market!"

Scores High In All Regards

"I have a bias toward Russian River wines and the deNegoce Chardonnay did not disappoint. It was very smooth with a nice balance of flavors. My wife favors white wines and her smile indicated that we’d be buying this vintage again."
