Geyser Peak Russian River Chardonnay 2006

Showing a bright straw color, this fruit-driven wine bursts with lush aromas of ripe apples, peach and hints of butterscotch and vanilla. These flavors are prominent on the palate, which begins with a rich, round entry and gives way to a crisp, citrus-laced, and nicely balanced acidity on the finish. The wine's wonderfully creamy texture has been enhanced by both lees stirring and by aging in water-bent American oak barrels.

This wine offers a fresh, balanced fruit style that will pair remarkably well with a variety of light to medium-bodied foods.
