Pellegrini 2013 Olivet Lane Vineyard Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
Editors' Choice
Rich and creamy, this beguiling wine offers a counterweight of lightness and balance, finding as much lemon and lime zest as baked apple and pear within its layers of flavor. Lifted in minerality, it offers accents of vanilla and honey on the finish, making the wine both complex and completely delicious. Virginie Boone
