2010 Chardonnay Russian River Valley Bacigalupi Vineyard
A very rich, full-bodied wine, packed densely with stone fruit, citrus, spice, almond, and subtle honeyed notes. There is plenty of acidity, however, to give balance and finesse. This is a bold, vivacious and memorable wine that will continue to impress for years to come. Made from grapes grown in the famous vineyard that was part of the blend that won the Paris Tasting of 1976.

| ABOUT THE VINEYARD: |
| In the Russian River Valley, 2010 will be memorable for its ideal, long growing season. Limited frost damage in April, below normal summer temperatures, and few heat spikes of any duration all contributed to excellent quality fruit with ripe flavors and good texture. Across the board, our 2010 Chardonnays possess amazing depth, elegance and structure. |
