The Hess Collection Panthera Chardonnay, Russian River Valley, USA 2018

Details

Panthera Chardonnay showcases the dynamism and energy of the Russian River Valley as this wine displays both a vibrant aspect of fruit and a confident oak profile. This wine presents beautiful layers of crisp, bright Asian pear and golden apple that lead to luscious notes of lemon curd developed from malolactic fermentation. The deft baseline of toasted oak introduces notes of buttered French toast and hints of crme brle, which are complemented by a signature backbone of acidity nurtured on the Sonoma Coast.
