DeLoach Russian River Chardonnay 2005

De Loach 2005 Russian River Valley Chardonnay is a blend of several premium vineyards located within three miles of the winery in the heart of the Russian River Valley. Carefully tended vines yield fruit of exemplary quality; it is a pure expression of Russian River Valley terroir.

Ambrosial scents greet you from the glass; the warm aroma of toasted hazelnuts interlaces with spicy sweet notes of citrus blossom. Tropical flavors of guava and papaya meld on the palate with the crisp taste of Gravenstein apples. This mouthwatering wine shows a delightful complexity; the rich creamy mid-palate is framed by a well balanced acid tannin structure leading to a brilliant clean finish that leaves you wanting more.
