Lot 87
2007 Alexander Valley/Russian River Valley Chardonnay
If you liked Lot 59 RRV Chardonnay, you absolutely will be blown away by this wine—it's from the same producer in the Russian River Valley.
This is a beautiful bottle of wine with mixed floral and fruit aromas. Imagine Bosch pear and Fuji apple served on a graham cracker, drizzled with caramel. Broad and deep on the mid-palate with lush tropical fruit and vanilla notes lingering in a long finish. As an '07, this wine is just hitting its stride (the Alexander fruit is a bit more round than the RRV fruit, however, and lends itself to being a bit more open at this time) and will continue to improve in the bottle for many years to come.
Style: Full, Bold
