2006 DCV10 Chardonnay
"Dry Creek Vineyard turns to the cooler Russian River Valley to source this deliciously crisp Chardonnay. It has spicy flavors of baked green apples, pineapple jam, butterscotch, vanilla and wonderfully exotic figs. Low alcohol gives it perfect balance."

The Russian River Valley is internationally recognized as one of the finest Chardonnay growing regions in the world. The traditionally long, cool growing season allows our Chardonnay to hang on the vine until it achieves its true potential. In 2006, the growing conditions were nearly perfect. Initial aromas of fresh pear, fig, and apricot lead to underlying elements of honeysuckle and tropical fruits. On the palate, the wine is quite opulent with warm caramel and vanilla bean notes that incorporate additional fruits such as Fuji apple and apricots. The well-integrated French oak creates a seamless wine that lingers on the palate and invites another sip.
