Girard Winery Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2014
The best under $25 California Chardonnay we've discovered this year! A beautiful Russian River Valley Chardonnay that's a true steal while it lasts. The Girard Chardonnay Russian River Valley is another clean, slightly crisp Chardonnay. Special malolactic fermentation techniques provide a soft, round palate without the buttery influence found in many California Chardonnays. You'll find this to be a great food wine that is also very enjoyable on its own. The majority of Chardonnay grapes come from the Dutton Ranch vineyard.

Excellent Chardonnay for a sunny Easter party just enough oak but not too much to be heavy

Sipping Fine Wine 
From grapes grown in the Russian River Valley, an ideal climate for allowing the grapes to slow ripen, and sourced from several vineyards. The Chardonnay sits on 100% French oak, of which about 35% is new. Pouring a glass I noticed a nice pale yellow color with aromas of stone fruits pear and vanilla spice scents. The palate showed crisp fruit flavors, mostly pears, apples and melons, with bright acidity, a touch of oak, minerality and a smooth creamy finish. An exception value. Will not disappoint!
