Lynmar Russian River Valley Chardonnay

Lynmar Russian River Valley Chardonnay Wine Details
Price: $27.00 per bottle

Description: While philosophically related to the 2003 Russian River Valley bottling, the 2004 shows a marked increase in complexity and richness. Pure high-toned notes of pear blossom, Fuji apple and lemon curd are evident in the aromas, overlaying hints of anise, nutmeg, wet stone and pencil shavings. Oak is present but restrained, serving its proper supporting role. These flavors are reinforced on the palate, where white peach and apricot are at the forefront, complemented by hazelnut and a hint of toasted brioche. The long, delicate finish is fruit-driven with a hint of spice. The medium body and slightly creamy texture provide a nice counterpoint to the bright acidity. Drink now through 2007.
