Iron Horse Estate Chardonnay 2003
Region: Russian River, Sonoma County, California
Variety: White Wine
Rating: 91.0

2003 is a excellent vintage in terms of quality and flavor intensity. It is also a special anniversary vintage, marking our 25th year of making  Estate Chardonnay at Iron Horse. It beautifully expresses the bright,  focused, clean, sweet-tart flavors of cool, foggy Green Valley. It is beautifully balanced, imparting a delightful "leesy", toasty,  perfectly integrated barrel character that doesn't overwhelm the fruit. The texture is soft, smooth, silky and sensuous. The finish, long and lingering.
