Mission Codename Cotes du... Russian River?
Prepare to be very impressed with today’s special Les Caves Roties de Pente 2010 Russian River Chardonnay. This delicious wine combines the incredible Chardonnay fruit of the Russian River Valley with the old world winemaking sensibilities of old world France.
This wonderful wine is light golden in color, lightweight on the glass, and light-hearted of spirit. Our tasting panel marveled at the beautiful balance, wonderful flavors and delightful aromatics. There is complexity here that most Russian River Chardonnays don’t exhibit, but don’t construe that to mean that the wine is in any way bold or displeasing. Instead, the wine possesses a subtlety of complexity.
Enjoy this fantastic wine with a wider variety of foods than many California Chardonnays would allow. Drink now - but be sure to hold a few bottles for the next year or two. This is a wine that will continue to evolve in the bottle.
