2020 Adversity Cellars Five Wells Chardonnay Russian River Valley

The 2020 Adversity Chardonnay is completely different from any Chardonnay I have crafted before. Where the vineyard is located, we knew it would have the classic crisp flavors that we enjoy in white Burgundy, but with the hang time to capture some of the beautiful textures California is so famous for. We intentionally made the wine to be a little reductive hoping to achieve the intensity found in Meursault and the flamboyancy of the best Sonoma Coast Chardonnays. This is complexity and harmony at its most perfect balance, making it one of those rare Chardonnays that captures both finesse and power.
