Panthera
2023, Russian River Valley, CA, USA
Profile & Story
Reminiscent of a faraway patisserie, Panthera Chardonnay leads with aromas of buttered crust and crème brûlée. Flush with lemon curd and candied lemon peel, this wine is perfect for relaxing in the garden as the sun sets.
Tasting Notes
Panthera Chardonnay showcases the dynamism and energy of the Russian River Valley. Beautiful layers of stone fruit marry with bright Asian pear, leading to luscious notes of lemon curd developed from malolactic fermentation. The baseline of toasted oak introduces notes of buttered French toast and hints of crème brûlée, complemented by a signature backbone of acidity nurtured on the Sonoma Coast.
