Girard 2007 Chardonnay, Russian River Valley

The best under $25 California Chardonnay we've discovered this year! A beautiful Russian River Valley Chardonnay that's a true steal while it lasts.

The Girard 2007 Chardonnay Russian River Valley is another clean, slightly crisp Chardonnay. Special malolactic fermentation techniques provide a soft, round palate without the buttery influence found in many California Chardonnays. You'll find this to be a great food wine that is also very enjoyable on its own.

90 Points Robert Parker: "This brilliant Chardonnay was barrel-fermented in French oak and aged sur-lie for ten months. It boasts abundant amounts of honeysuckle and tropical fruits in a medium-bodied, pure, crisp format. Only a light touch of wood is noticeable."
