This wine has lots of minerality and equal parts vanilla and oak. Prominent lemon flavors give way to some spice and creaminess. This is another beautiful Chardonnay from Chausseur - this one from the Russian River Valley - and it's a little leaner and crisper than the other Chausseur Chardonnays.
Very tight and spicy, with a stemmy edge to the dried red and dark berry flavors, ending with firm, grainy tannins. Needs some cellaring.
