Winemaker Notes
The 2014 Gallo Signature Series Chardonnay was crafted with fruit grown in the winery's estate vineyards -- a true expression of Russian River Valley terroir. The full-bodied palate has delightfully bright flavors of crisp apple, ripe peach, lemon meringue and honey, while the long finish has hints of caramel and ginger.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2014 Chardonnay went through full malolactic and aged 15 months in 94% new French oak. It is a relatively small cuvée, with all 1,500 cases coming from the Laguna Ranch, Del Rio, Two Rock and Stefani vineyards. Showing terrific fruit intensity with loads of honeyed citrus, a touch of tangerine oil, pear and white peach, the wine is medium to full-bodied (14.5% alcohol), pure and clean with a medium to full-bodied texture. This wine should drink nicely for 5-6 years.

The Gallo Signature Series honors the journey the Gallo Family started in 1933, and it celebrates how far the family has come. With some of California's best grapes at her fingertips, third-generation winemaker Gina Gallo has created three distinct wines that could only be crafted from the Gallo family's unique combination of vineyards. For Gina, the Gallo Signature Series expresses her family's unique combination of vineyards. For Gina, the Gallo Signature Series expresses her family's passion for great vineyards and great wine, and it reflects the best the Gallo Winery has to offer. The Gallo Signature Series marks a return to hands-on, artisanal winemaking for Gina, and it brings to life the enduring legacy of Ernest and Julio Gallo.
