2015 MAGNOLIA BLOSSON,CHARDONNAY, BACIGALUPI, RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY, CALIFORNIA

Great vintage that concentrated flavors and intensity. Low amounts of rain and hillside slopes forced the vines to stretch into the soil in search of water. In return this helped develop complex layers on both the nose and the pallet. The nose starts with floral and earth tones, such as wild mushrooms and forest floor, but is accompanied by some nut and spice components. While the pallet is full bodied and layered, it starts off dark, with blackberry and plum, followed by a cherry pie mid pallet and a little cinnamon, white pepper finish.
