2010 Soliste L’Age D’Or Russian River Valley Chardonnay

13.3% alc., 340 cases, $50. Aged 16 months in French oak. · Moderately pale golden yellow color in the glass. Lovely aromas of lemon pie filling, crisp apple and buttered brioche. Delicious palate presence with fresh and lively flavors of lemon, golden apple, baking spice. The mouthfeel is soft and dreamy in the mouth, the oak is perfectly integrated, and the fruit shows up for an encore on the juicy finish. Conjures a white burgundy with the fat middle palate of Russian River Valley. Reviewed July 19, 2014
