Gary Farrell Russian River Chardonnay 2016

Lively, enticing, varietal characters of zesty lime, fresh lemongrass and passion fruit command the aromatic profile, while subtle hints of thyme emanate as the wine sits in the glass. Ripe, yellow grapefruit, Meyer Lemon and just a hint of gooseberry provide a captivating array of flavors on the palate, balanced by a powerful backbone of refreshing, tangy acidity. The concrete adds a decidedly mineral, saline-like character, and also balances the fruit-driven aromas with subtle hints of gun flint and wet slate. The crisp, lively, natural acidity lends to the overall texture and creates a long, mouthwatering finish.
