Simi Russian River Valley Reserve Chardonnay has a beautiful light straw color with a golden edge. The wine opens with creme brulee, baked apple, pear, hazelnut, and notes of honey. The palate is warm and weighty with lemon curd, shortbread cookie, and a touch of clove. This Reserve offers mouthwatering acidity with a Rubenesque texture and a long, beautiful finish. It reflects the best of what Russian River Valley fruit can offer.
