Winemaker Notes

Light straw color with aromas of tangerine, lemon curd, stone fruits, white flower blossoms, and a hint of butterscotch. On the palate there are flavors of white grapefruit, peach, toasted pecans with balanced acidity and mineral notes.

Professional Ratings

  • 90
    Fermented and aged 12 months in barrel, the 2013 Chardonnay Russian River Valley Anniversary Selection is a straight-up gorgeous Chardonnay. Rich and unctuous, yet also lively and fresh, its light gold color is followed by classic notes of buttered stone fruits, toasted nuts, lemon and hints of minerality. It has bright acidity, plenty of fruit and a great finish. It's impressive today, but I suspect it will keep for a decade or more.

One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.

Russian River Valley Wine

Sonoma County, California

View all products

A standout region for its decidedly Californian take on Burgundian varieties, the Russian River Valley is named for the eponymous river that flows through it. While there are warm pockets of the AVA, it is mostly a cool-climate growing region thanks to breezes and fog from the nearby Pacific Ocean.

Chardonnay and Pinot Noir reign supreme in Russian River, with the best examples demonstrating a unique combination of richness and restraint. The cool weather makes Russian River an ideal AVA for sparkling wine production, utilizing the aforementioned varieties. Zinfandel also performs exceptionally well here. Within the Russian River Valley lie the smaller appellations of Chalk Hill and Green Valley. The former, farther from the ocean, is relatively warm, with a focus on red and white Bordeaux varieties. The latter is the coolest, foggiest parcel of the Russian River Valley and is responsible for outstanding Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
