Kenwood’s 2020 Six Ridges Russian River Valley Chardonnay opens with enticing aromas of stone fruit and warm baking spice, followed by lush flavors of toasty brioche, crisp apple, and crunchy peach that melt across the palate with a rich, textural finish. The wine shows the hallmark Russian River balance of vibrant fruit and layered complexity, supported by barrel fermentation and extended lees aging that add depth without overwhelming its bright acidity. Its combination of richness and freshness makes it a natural partner for dishes such as roast chicken, seared scallops, crab cakes, creamy pasta with mushrooms, grilled salmon, and soft‑ripened cheeses, where its interplay of fruit, spice, and acidity can shine.
