The Times Weekly selected Gary Farrell 2018 Russian River Selection Chardonnay as its latest wine of the week recommendation. Described as voluptuous, the writer adds the wine “opens up with a nose full of ripe tropical fruit and exotic flowers, followed by tangy citrus and star fruit on the tongue. The wine literally dances down your throat with a balanced grace supplied by ample stone fruit; white peaches, nectarines, ripe Asian pear and a nice hint of earthiness to remind you of where it came from.”
The feature continues to share details about the vineyards and winemaking details, and Winemaker Theresa Heredia’s efforts to capture the essence of a place in the bottle. The writer shares additional tasting notes of the wine and range of food pairings to consider enjoying it with as well.
