Benovia Chardonnay La Pommeraie Russian River Valley 2020

“Bold, with rich lemon curd and limoncello flavors at the core, plus hints of litsea oil, spices, flaky, buttery pastry and salted, toasted almonds. Reveals vibrant minerality that weaves in and out to highlight all the complexity. Drink now through 2030. 265 cases made.”

“Both concentrated and mouth-coating, this impressive, full-bodied wine fills the nose with toast and vanillin aromas, then floods the palate with poached pears, butterscotch and cream. Luscious for current drinking and has the depth to mature nicely. Best through 2030.”

“Sourced from the Zio Tony Ranch, the 2020 Chardonnay La Pommeraie pours a deeper clear golden hue, with ripe and enveloping aromas of buttered citrus, honeysuckle, and baked pineapple. This full-bodied Chardonnay offers up classic Russian River richness and charm, with poached pear, almond, and lemon pastry. Long on the palate, with a clean finish, this is a well-done wine for this ripe style. Drink 2023-2028.”
