Deloach Vineyards Chardonnay Russian River Valley 2018

A delightful straw yellow color in the glass, our 2015 Chardonnay entices the senses with aromas of key lime and white peach with a hint of sweet honeysuckle. Layered flavors of baked apple, Asian pear and vanilla crème are balanced with a touch of flinty brightness that leads to a long, clean finish. This Chardonnay pairs well with a variety of light dishes and effortlessly combines the two distinct styles of crisp refinement and rich elegance.

The wine was fermented in 50% French oak barrels, with the balance in stainless steel tanks. The wine went through some Malolactic fermentation, resulting in a well-balanced wine with bright acidity and a rich, round mouthfeel.
