Cooled by Pacific fog, the Russian River Valley's extended growing season make it one of the world's ideal terroirs for nurturing extraordinary Chardonnay. Hand-selected from premium vineyards in Russian River Valley, the 2007 Calcaire exemplifies the fresh, crisp fruit flavors that make cool climate Chardonnay so appealing.

Wine Profile

Vintage:	2007
Wine Type:	White Wine
Varietal:	Chardonnay
Appellation:	Russian River
Alcohol %:	14.5
Tasting Notes:	100% Chardonnay Brilliant silver straw yellow in color, this Chardonnay exhibits generous citrus-laced aromas of apple blossom and pear, nutmeg and creme brulee. In the mouth it is creamy and rich, with ripe pear and apple fruit with a splash of refreshing lemon and lime.
Ratings:	Wine Enthusiast - February 2010 Rated 92 Points "Made in a leaner, crisper style than many Chards nowadays, this Chardonnay trades power for elegance. It’s almost like a Sauvignon Blanc, with citrusy acids framing flavors of limes, pineapples and green apples that have a minerally edge. New French oak adds just the right touch of richness." Restaurant Wine - May 2010 Rated 5 Stars "Elegantly flavored and full bodied, this is an exceptional wine at the price. It is smoothly textured, lightly oaked, crisp, and long on the finish, tasting of pear, lemon peel, orange blossom, pineapple, toast, vanilla, and spicy oak."
