Benovia Chardonnay Russian River Valley 2020

Critical Acclaim: 94 pts Decanter; 94 pts Wine Enthusiast; 92pts Jeb Dunnuck; 91 pts Wine Spectator. 

Winemaker's Tasting Notes: This lively Chardonnay is bursting with aromas of citrus blossom, Asian Pear, yellow Mellon. The nose is filled with sun ripened apricot and white peach, knit together by balanced acidity and a long-complex finish. Barrel fermentation and oak aging for 13 months have added hints of toasted almond, and spice cake to a subtle minerality on the finish. This dynamic Chardonnay will drink well upon release and will improve with a year or two in bottle.

Varietal: Chardonnay.
