Gary Farrell 'Russian River Selection' Russian River Valley Sonoma County 2015 Chardonnay, $29.74-$39.99, 93 points, poured a deep glossy gold color clearing to a blue/grey penumbra.
Lovely aromas of dusty tangerine peel, lemon, pome blossoms, and soft oak notes were outstanding.
Medium-plus body, perfectly textured by a soft crispness, with mouthwatering acidity carried not only flavors reflective of the aromas and an excellent wet stoniness, but carried the Cali Chardonnay day.
Finished long and slightly tropical, slightly tart, and refreshingly lemon/lime with faint oak notes and a well-balanced 13.8% alcohol.
Paired fine with my spinach pie.
