Kosta Browne One Sixteen Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2013 (375ml)
The marine influence that follows the Russian River inland from the Pacific coast is a powerful attribute of this region. The fog helps keep nights cool and offers vines a break from daytime temperatures. The eight famous Chardonnay vineyards that we work with for this wine are centered on the Green Valley neighborhood - the coolest part of the Russian River Valley. Here, fruit is allowed to mature a little more gracefully on the vine, which we find offers us more intensely focused flavors and generous natural acidity. On the nose are traces of granny smith apple, tangerine, orange blossom and honeysuckle. Key lime and meyer lemon zest flavors are evident on the palate and are complemented nicely with fresh, lively fruit flavors with meringue-like texture and mouthwatering acidity.

Brilliant. Bright. I was awestruck how much I enjoyed it. Great acid and barrel integration. Full of white fruits, nuts, brine and hot cinnamon. Great balance

Pale golden color with appealing apple, melon, mandarin orange, key lime zest, and a bit of orange blossom aromas. On the palate, it's rich, round, and shows generous acidity with melon, mandarin orange, key lime zest, vanilla and a bit of brown spice flavors. Long finish.2013 vintage.

Beautiful wine. Massive melted butter diacetyl aromas. Very lactic on the palate. Would have like a bit more acidity/burgundy to balance. I always love hard to find whites from red houses. This is a fun wine.
