Winemaker's Notes
This wine has a unique balance of approachability and surprising complexity. The blend boasts enticing aromas of golden apple, ripe nectarine and honeydew melon, highlighted by fragrantjasmine blossom and citrusy Meyer lemon with an undertone of vanilla cream. It is fruit forward, with a creamy mid-palate, and clean acidity on the finish. The carefully selected barrelsoffer an oak presence that elevates the wine without overshadowing its natural character.

Pair this refreshing Chardonnay with grilled herb marinated sea bass with mango chutney.

Wilfred Wong of Wine.com - "The 2015 Martin Ray Russian River Valley Chardonnay boasts fragrant ripe apple and peach in the aromas and on the palate. The wine's satisfying finish makes it a delicious and versatile cocktail or main entrée wine. Drinks well now. (Tasted: September 8, 2016, San Francisco, CA) "
