Simi Chardonnay Russian River Valley 2018

The wine opens with exotic sandalwood and cardamom followed by toasted bread, lemon zest, green apple, nougat, tropical fruit, stone fruit, minerals, and lush cream. The palate is warm and weighty with vanilla, toast, stone fruit, pineapple, orange zest, and Granny Smith and Golden Delicious apple.

This Reserve offers mouthwatering acidity with good structure and a long, beautiful finish of sweet tropical fruit, lemon curd, and grilled pineapple. It reflects the best of what Russian River Valley fruit can offer.
