Iron Horse Estate Chardonnay 2011

Iron Horse Estate Chardonnay 2011 is a remarkable estate wine from Iron Horse Vineyards — one of California's most celebrated sparkling and still wine producers, located in the Green Valley of Russian River Valley in Sonoma County. The Green Valley is the coolest sub-appellation of the Russian River Valley, where extreme diurnal temperature variation and persistent morning fog from the Pacific create exceptional growing conditions for both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. This 2011 Estate Chardonnay showcases the terroir's distinctive influence: a pure, focused, and vibrant wine with aromas of tart green apple, lemon curd, white peach, and flinty mineral notes. On the palate, it is lean and elegant with piercing natural acidity and a crisp, extended finish of remarkable precision — an exceptional food wine.
