Amphora (Healdsburg, CA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
2006 Chardonnay View Label
  • Appellation: Russian River Valley
  • Winemaker: Rick
  • Peters Vineyard is located on the western edge of Russian River Valley and because of its cool setting is ideal for growing some of the best Burgundian varietals in California. The 2006 Peters Chardonnay is feminine and delicate, with perfumes of gala apple, lemon custard, honey and brioche. The wine glides across the palate with a light silkiness and maintains its vibrant acidity on the finish. A fantastic wine to pair with flash seared ahi tuna encrusted with toasted hazelnuts and lightly to... ...read more

    Bjornstad Cellars (Santa Rosa, CA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
    2007 Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay View Label
  • Appellation: Russian River Valley
  • Winemaker: Greg Bjornstad
  • Tasting Notes: The Ritchie Vineyard consistently produces distinctive Chardonnays, known for their richness and tropical fruit flavors. Bjornstad’s representation expresses a somewhat leaner version, consistent with the characteristics of the 2006 vintage. The complex aromas reveal sweet citrus notes of Mandarin orange and Meyer lemon meringue. Creamy vanillas and butterscotch layer nicely with the fruit and toasty oak notes. Flavors follow aromas onto the palate with a beautiful balance ... ...read more

    Chasseur Wines (Sebastopol, CA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
    2006 Russian River Valley Chardonnay View Label
  • Appellation: Russian River Valley
  • When the cork is pulled this proves a wine of vivid contrasts, with intensity that is almost aggressive. Aromas of toasted coconut, vanilla wafer, lemon curd, roasted grain, bees wax and suggestions of tarte tatin and peach upside-down cake seem to tumble forth. It settles down quickly on the palate, revealing pretty green apple and pear fruit integrated nicely with layers of creamy vanilla, nutmeggy custard and some firming citric and mineral notes. Airing shows it less powerful than its Sonoma... ...read more

    Gann Family Cellars (Santa Rosa, CA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
    2006 Chardonnay
  • Appellation: Russian River Valley
  • An incredibly bright acidity gives the palate a powerful burst of concentrated pineapple, green apple and lemon zest fruit that shimmers gently away with hints of toast, spice and mineral. This is a modern day Chardonnay with a classic European backbone - extraordinary complexity, keen acidity, and perfectly ripe fruit exemplifying all that is Russian River.

    2006 Chardonnay, Estate ~ Russian River Valley
  • Appellation: Russian River Valley

  • Winemaker: Jon Phillips
  • Fermented and sur lees aged in two year old French oak barrels for 11 months. The wine and it’s sediment was stirred, employing a French technique called “batonage” for 9 of the 11 months that the wine was being cellared - Unfiltered and unfined, this wine is complex, with a rich mouth feel and a perfect balance of acid and fruit for which the Russian River Valley is renowned.

  • Sparkling medium yellow/gold in color, this wine explodes with bright, clear tropical fruit aromas. Smokey perfumed pear and apple aromas join the party, accompanied by yeast, toast and butter scents. Full in body and generous in flavor, this wine glides softly with beautifully balanced natural acidity. Mango, pineapple, pear and apple flavors dance harmoniously on the palette in this enormously enjoyable wine. The finish; long and crisp with toasty oak and butterscotch nuances.
