2018 Chardonnay, Flora Marie Vineyard
$70
Perched on a benchland to the east of the Russian River, the Flora Marie Vineyard is positioned well to benefit from morning sun with its eastern-oriented slope. A stone's throw from the El Diablo Vineyard, this vineyard is all about fresh fruit compared to its ethereal neighbor.
A floral nose of citrus flowers, ripe peach and baking spice lead into crisp apple and stone fruit flavors. A well-textured palate plays out the richness of the Russian River while the acidity carries the wine into a long finish.
