Russian River Valley
AN AIR-CONDITIONED RIVER VALLEY
Our Chardonnay sanctuary is the cool, crisp microclimate of Sonoma’s Russian River Valley, where the great Charles Heintz and Dutton Ranch vineyards contributed the field-selected grapes to make this classic small-lot Chardonnay. The maritime influence in the Russian River Valley creates a natural air conditioning that extends the growing season—often 15 to 20 percent longer than neighboring areas — allowing Chardonnay grapes to develop concentrated aromas and flavors while maintaining a balanced acidity.
