Fog Crest Estate Chardonnay Russian River Valley 2017

Classic Russian River Chardonnay with everything one looks for in a high end Chardonnay.  Mostly clone 95, picked at a moderate 23ish brix. The wine spends time in a mixture of barrels; 12 months in 40% new oak and 6 months in all neutral oak.  Rich and creamy, well balanced, and utterly enjoyable.  Baking spices, creme brulee, crisp Fuji apples, and pears are the leading flavors in this complex and refreshing wine. Exceptional quality.
