    COMMENTARY: The 2017 Mueller LB Chardonnay is fulfilling, yet well-balanced. TASTING NOTES: This wine exhibits dried earth, stone fruit, and mineral notes in its aromas and flavors. Pair it with grilled shellfish in a cream sauce. (Tasted: June 2, 2020, San Francisco, CA)

    The Mueller family has been producing this Chardonnay from the same vines since 1991. Aromas of lemon cake batter, banana are bright and clean. The palate opens with white tea floral notes, followed by tangerine and salted pineapple. This is a pretty, balanced white primed for great food pairing

Bob and Lori Mueller founded Mueller Winery in 1991, in the small town of Healdsburg in Northern California. Bob's involvement is in every aspect of the "grapes to glass" process, from pruning and crop control in the vineyard, to berry sorting and punch-downs in the cellar. In 2001, the Mueller Family decided to build a smaller facility on a large piece of land in the outskirts of Windsor, in the Russian River appellation. The rural landscape is the perfect place for Lori and Bob to raise their daughter, Emily, while continuing to make small lots of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel.

One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.

Russian River Valley Wine

A standout region for its decidedly Californian take on Burgundian varieties, the Russian River Valley is named for the eponymous river that flows through it. While there are warm pockets of the AVA, it is mostly a cool-climate growing region thanks to breezes and fog from the nearby Pacific Ocean.

Chardonnay and Pinot Noir reign supreme in Russian River, with the best examples demonstrating a unique combination of richness and restraint. The cool weather makes Russian River an ideal AVA for sparkling wine production, utilizing the aforementioned varieties. Zinfandel also performs exceptionally well here. Within the Russian River Valley lie the smaller appellations of Chalk Hill and Green Valley. The former, farther from the ocean, is relatively warm, with a focus on red and white Bordeaux varieties. The latter is the coolest, foggiest parcel of the Russian River Valley and is responsible for outstanding Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
