The 2012 Chardonnay Russian River Valley spends time in 29% new oak. It exhibits notes of orange marmalade, white peaches and pineapple, medium to full body, heady glycerin and a long, pure, well-balanced finish. It should drink well for 3-4 years. The stunning quartet of Chardonnays includes three 2012s and a late-released 2011. The winemaker is Elizabeth Grant-Douglas, who also produces the wines at several other Jackson Family estates, especially their high-end, small-production wines. Tel. (800) 314-1762
