2006 Dehlinger Russian River Valley Chardonnay
14.5% alc., $33.
·
Pale yellow
with the slightest haze (unfiltered). Demure perfume of honeysuckle, lemon zest
and riverbed. Discreetly rich flavors of white peaches, roasted nuts, and oak spice
with a mineral underpinning. An elegantly and restrained wine that is charming
and stylish. Dehlinger has quietly crafted one of California’s best Chardonnays for
many years.
