Porter Creek Chardonnay Russian River Valley 2022
Porter Creek is a small, family-run Sonoma County producer, and this Chardonnay from the Russian River Valley carries its signature minimalist label with a hand-drawn green grape leaf. The region’s cool, fog-touched mornings and sunny afternoons help the fruit ripen slowly while keeping its natural freshness.
Expect aromas of golden apple, lemon curd, and white flowers, with hints of toasted almond, vanilla, and wet stone. The palate is round yet vibrant, with ripe orchard fruit, a creamy texture, and a clean, mineral finish. Pair it with roast chicken, seared scallops, lobster, or creamy pasta, and serve it lightly chilled rather than ice cold to bring out its full character.
