Dry Creek Vineyards 2008 “Foggy Oaks” Chardonnay, Russian River Valley
Despite packing the double-whammy of barrel fermentation AND barrel aging, this wine still manages to retain wonderful fruit flavos, in particular fresh pineapple and lemon curd. Flavors reminicent of Grannie’s apple pie come into play too: vanilla, butter, dough, and cinnamon are some of the highlights.
At the end of the day, this is a rich and unctious Chardonnay. If you are a devotee of the butterball Chard, this very well may be Mecca.
