Grape Expectations: 2018 Gary Farrell Russian River Valley Chardonnay
The Columbus Dispatch
Price: $39.99
Aroma: crisp, citrusy mix of quince, guava, coconut
Flavor: fresh peach, white mulberry, fleshed out by excellent tartness; restrained oak
Notes: Even with climate change and its effect on so much of California wine country, the Russian River Valley appellation continues to be an oasis for makers of northern grapes such as pinot noir and chardonnay. An excellent dry white, priced accordingly.
