Gary Farrell Chardonnay Russian River 2019 750ml

Rich & golden, yet vibrant and zesty, this beautiful orchestra of Russian River Valley vineyards offers up enticing aromas of ripe nectarine, honeysuckle, lemongrass, and freshly baked brioche. Flinty, briny, and spicy, the palate is full-bodied and rich, yet remarkably mineral-driven, with flavors of roasted Meyer lemon, grapefruit, ginger, and just a kiss of lightly toasted oak. The beautiful saline quality balances the tangy acidity and lingering spice. Everything is nicely integrated, from the tangy entry to the long oily finish.

Critical Acclaim

94 Wine Enthusiast

This outstanding wine offers a full-range of complex flavors, texture and depth, the grapes sourced from a who's who of sites, including Bacigalupi, West side Farms and Rochioli. Gravenstein apple, Meyer lemon, tangerine and quenching acidity meld with a butterscotch accent and a balanced, rich texture.

92 James Suckling

Baked lemon, grapefruit and white peach mix on the nose. Medium-bodied with good presence and intensity. Bright, fresh acidity articulates the citrus and stone fruit as it washes over the palate.

90 Wine Spectator

Fresh, offering crunchy acidity to the green apple and Key lime flavors that are well-knit, with a juicy richness and spiciness to the lithe finish. Drink now through 2024.
