Gary Farrell Chardonnay 2009 Russian River, California

This has always been one of our favorite Chardonnays, but this really is an exceptional vintage and, it has the score to prove it!

What the Wine Critics Thought: Wine Spectator: 93 Points
Clean and refreshingly rich without being weighty, delivering a core of creamy pear and apple, with spice and floral touches, ending with a lively white peach aftertaste. Drink now through 2020. 2,237 cases made. –JL

What We Thought: Aromas of ripe pear, vanilla and lychee frame the nose on this elegant Chardonnay, with more pear, vanilla and buttered toast defining the viscous palate that is supported by clean acids that make for a lingering finish. This is classic California Chardonnay done right!
