Dehlinger 2013 Unfiltered Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Unfiltered
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Dehlinger / Russian River Valley

This is a bright, effusive, estate-grown, unfiltered white, delineated by high-toned acidity and gorgeously floral aromatics. Planted originally in 1975 to heritage Wente clone Chardonnay by owner/winemaker Tom Dehlinger, its generosity of fresh apple and pear ride a voluptuous, balanced texture that’s wholly satisfying, before meeting deeper hues of spicy, exotic tropical tones on the finish.
