Croix Estate 'Narrow Gauge' Chardonnay, Russian River Valley, USA 2021 Madeira - Rainwater full bodied with beautifully balancedA fuller, yet bright and refreshing style of Chardonnay, this wine has a golden straw presence in the glass with a bouquet of raw honey, marmalade, fresh citrus zest, toasted pine nuts, rocky flints, all spice, toasted oak and lusciousness on the nose that is ever so inviting.
