Porter Bass Russian River Estate Chardonnay 2019

This stunning Russian River Chardonnay balances opulence with elegance and finesse. Gorgeous golden lemon color in the glass, the nose is full of yellow apple, starfruit, lemongrass, and chalky minerality. The texture in the mouth is rich, but with a lively acidity that keeps the wine refreshing throughout. A real gem in the crowded field of Sonoma Chardonnay. 

Porter-Bass Vineyards sits nine miles from the ocean in a saddle between two ridge tops. The Russian River swings in a gentle oxbow around these ridges allowing the fog to drift to the foot of the vineyard, cooling the vines in the summer. The forest of Redwood and Fir that surrounds the vineyard protects the vines from strong winds. The estate utilizes biodynamic and organic farming strategies to create life in the soil and renew the vineyard's vitality.
