MassLive selected Gary Farrell Russian River Selection Chardonnay 2018 in this week’s column focused on white wines to enjoy this spring. Writer Ken Ross opens the piece with a comparison between Sonoma and Napa Valley Chardonnays, and why their ideal climates work consistently well for this grape.
“There are so many great Chardonnays to choose from in Sonoma County. But I decided to highlight this one from one of the best producers in one of my favorite parts of Sonoma, the Russian River Valley. This outstanding Chardonnay made by Gary Farrell winemaker Theresa Heredia bursts with wonderful, dense, dark flavors. Hints of sea mist, fog and smoke make this brooding wine a perfect choice for a crisp, cold night by a warm, blazing fire.” Read the full story HERE
