2018 Balletto Chardonnay Cider Ridge Vineyard, "Estate" Russian River Valley

NVWE Notes: This appealingly rich Chardonnay opens with scents of baked green apple, lemon cream pie and white peach tart along with toasty vanilla and baking spice notes. There is a genteel creaminess on the palate, where pretty citric counterpoints bring balance to long lingering flavors of baked apple, peach tart, lemon curd and a hint of orange peel. It is ready to drink and will be especially delicious with sauce fish or fowl.
