Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

These vines grow under the thoughtful watch of the Ross Family farmhouse, built in the 1850's. The former peach orchard's gently rolling hills provide a nurturing environment for our vines, optimizing flavor and vineyard expression. This luminescent chardonnay boasts rich tropical aromas with subtle notes of quince, Asian pear, and white peach. The creamy, expressive palate leads with bright fruit flavors of golden apple, grilled pineapple, and guava, while limestone minerality underscores the lingering finish.

Professional Ratings

  • 96
    The 2013 Chardonnay Ross Station Estate displays clean quince, white currant, honeysuckle and pineapple notes, a touch of hazelnut, and a full-bodied, rich, concentrated, multi-layered mouthfeel. This is another brilliant Chardonnay to drink over the next 4-6 years.
  • 93
    A rich and blousy white with sliced white peach and hints of pie crust. Full and rich. Round. Lots of mouthfeel and length. Wonderful textured white. Drink now.
  • 90
    Light toasty oak lingers in the background of the fig, apple and honeydew flavors. Most impressive on the long finish, where the depth, detail and subtleties emerge. Drink now. 622 cases made.

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

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.
