picket fence chardonnay

The 2024 growing season in the Russian River Valley was defined by a mild spring and a long, steady ripening period. Cool mornings and fog-filled afternoons preserved bright natural acidity, while warm, even summer temperatures encouraged full flavor development without pushing sugars too quickly. Harvest arrived slightly later than average, allowing the Chardonnay to reach ideal ripeness with exceptional balance.

The resulting wines show vibrant fruit purity, refined texture, and the signature elegance that has come to define Russian River Valley Chardonnay.

The 2024 Picket Fence Chardonnay has expressive aromas of golden apple, pear, and honeysuckle that unfold into a graceful palate with layers of citrus, ripe stone fruit, and a whisper of crème brûlée. The texture is smooth and balanced, with a lingering, refreshing finish.
