Raeburn 2017 Chardonnay

Raeburn is an Olde English term which means the river where one goes to drink. So it’s fitting that Raeburn’s expressive, beautifully balanced Chardonnay begins in the heart of the Russian River Valley where some of the world’s finest Chardonnay grapes are grown.

90 POINTS - "This wine shows a beautiful balance of elements. Its aromas and flavors of ripe fruits and oak, coupled with its soft palate touch should make it a perfect choice to sip with light foods in the backyard. - Wilfred Wong
