A beautiful pale straw color with a slight green hue, this 42nd consecutive vintage of Russian River Ranches shows phenomenal consistency of flavor. Known for being a fruit-forward wine, the aromas in this vintage offer lemon and lime zest with added complexity of toasted almonds, white pepper, and a hint of white flowers. Fruit flavors shine through with crisp, zesty Meyer lemon, notes of green melon, Bosc pear and minerality with a nice barrel spice finish. A long, tightly focused palate with a light mid-palate creaminess offers bright acidity balanced with a long juicy, elegant finish.
