Tasting Notes
Aroma: 

The 2019 Gardener French Colombard from the Russian River Valley opens with enticing aromas of tangerine, green apple, and white peach.

Palate: 

On the palate, this expressive wine is bursting with flavors of citrus, honeydew, and blanched almonds. This dry light-bodied wine will wake up your palate with bright acidity balanced with soft fruit notes.

Winemaking
Vintage Notes: 

In the 2019 vintage heavy spring rains enriched the soils and delayed bud break by a few weeks. A heat spike in June, followed by warm weather, brought even veraison throughout the vineyards. A cooling trend and touch of rain in mid-September created ideal conditions for the 2019 harvest which is considered a near-perfect vintage.
