Valravn Chardonnay Sonoma County 2023

Owner Baron Ziegler has been involved in wine since he was 15, and began Valravn as his Sonoma label in 2014.  Winemaker Rob Fischer joined in 2017, after gaining experience all over Napa and Sonoma. Together their experiences have led to the crafting of single-vineyard level wines at everyday price points.  The Chardonnay comes from various vineyards across the Russian River and is aged with 30% new oak.  This wine has excellent texture and a lush body, ripe fruit, and a persistent finish.  Aromas of stone fruit and honeysuckle, along with fresh green apple on the palate offer a lovely balanced wine.
