Tasting Notes: Simply put this is hardcore, mindblowing Chardonnay at the price point. Martin Ray finds itself in the heart of the Russian River Valley, primo Chardonnay country. The grapes for the 2010 Martin Ray Chardonnay are a unique blend of vineyards carefully selected from the cool Russian River Valley. Rich fruit characteristics and lush tropical fruit flavors emerge from these select grapes, which are picked from some of the finest vineyards in the region. Grapes harvested from the rolling hills of the Russian River Valley offer a wide range of flavors and fruit characteristics due to the microclimates created in the valley landscape. Lower yields allowed intense, superb fruit to develop. Aging in French oak barrels “on the lees” develops rounder, creamier texture in the wine. The 2010 Russian River Valley Chardonnay is aged for 16 months in barrel. It begins with aromas highlighted by fresh melon and vanilla. The wine’s superior structure and balance have a backbone of crisp apple, melon and creamy vanilla flavors that continue flawlessly on to a ripe and elegant finish.
