Gary Farrell 'Russian River Selection' Chardonnay 2015 Review
Exotic and heady on the nose, this Russian River Chardonnay is extremely well-balanced on the palate, the bursting acidity washing over the tongue and tightening up all that ripe fruit. Fresh, unsweetened orange juice, crunchy apple, and tart lemon citrus lead into sweet spice, savory nuts, and charred new oak on the finish.
