Benovia Russian River Chardonnay is a beautifully balanced, oak-aged white that captures the essence of the Russian River Valley. Aromas of Golden Delicious apple, poached pear, and marzipan lead to layers of dried apricot, white peach, and toasted almond on the palate. With its creamy texture, lively acidity, and a touch of spice cake and minerality on the finish, this 93-point Chardonnay is elegant, complex, and deeply expressive.

Rated 93
Nice and full in body, creamy in texture and well supplied with baked apple and poached pear flavors, this wine sips smoothly, showing more vanilla, coconut and butter nuances with time in the glass.
Wine Tasting Notes
This Benovia Russian River Chardonnay is bursting with aromas of sun-ripened Golden Delicious Apple, poached pear and marzipan. The nose is filled with dried apricot and white peach, knitted together by balanced acidity and a long-complex finish. Barrel fermentation and oak aging for 13 months have added hints of toasted almond and spice cake finishing with a subtle minerality on the finish.
