The 2001 Chardonnay Russian River may be an outstanding effort, but my score is conservative given its evolved light gold color. The fragrant bouquet reveals plenty of honeysuckle, macerated white fruits (especially peaches), spice, oak, and caramel aromas. Medium-bodied, with excellent purity, and good vigor, it will drink well for 12-18 months.
