5 Russians Chardonnay 2021 Russian River Valley

Tasting Notes: Pale gold color in the glass. The nose is of green apple and pear aromas with a
touch of toasty caramel. On the mouth, flavors of marzipan and mango, well balanced with a bright citrus note. 

Vinification: The fruit is manually harvested, and fermented in a combination of stainless
steel tanks and French oak barrels.

Vineyard: This chardonnay combines grapes from multiple top-notch vineyards in the
Russian River Valley. Known for its cool climate and fertile soils, this region
provides the perfect conditions for Chardonnay grapes to flourish.

From The Winery: 5ive Russians brings together two of Sonoma’s most distinctive cool-climate
regions: the calm, steady charm of the Russian River Valley and the rugged, windswept edge of the Sonoma Coast. In the Russian River Valley, foggy mornings, cool afternoons, and well-drained soils help create bright, vibrant wines. Over on the coast, colder nights and breezy hillsides slow things down,
adding structure and depth. The wines show a great balance—fine texture, bright acidity, and firm structure. They reflect the nuance of their terroirs and offer a clear expression of Sonoma’s temperate vineyards.
