Williams-Selyem Chardonnay Russian River Valley Olivet Lane 2020

Producer notes: “Yellow apple and pear highlight the aromatics of this old-vine Chardonnay vineyard. Hints of lemon curd belie the fruit along with a subtle starfruit aromatic. Fresh ground nutmeg and allspice from the modest oak usage support the fruit elements and give the wine a little counterpoint to the treble of the fruit tones. The yellow apple aromas carry through to the palate and are wrapped up in nice acidity and excellent tannin structure. A powdery, mineral finish of crushed rocks accents the finish and is nicely punctuated. Barrel aged 13 months in 21% new, 22% 1-year, 28% 2-year and 29% 3+ year oak. Optimal Drinking Window: 2023-2030. Alcohol 14.5%.”
