J Vineyards Russian River Valley Chardonnay

The grapes for this Chardonnay were sourced from cool areas throughout the Russian River Valley growing region. We hand-harvested the grapes and pressed them gently. The juice was entirely barrel fermented in 100% French oak, approximately 33% of which was new. Aged for nine months, barrels contributed nuanced spice and toast notes, complementing but not overpowering the classic Russian River Valley fruit characteristics.
