Davis Bynum 2023 Chardonnay

Tasting Notes

Davis Bynum’s 2023 Chardonnay is crafted from 100% Chardonnay sourced from select sites in the Russian River Valley, emphasizing the region’s cool‑climate balance of richness and acidity. The wine opens with aromas of ripe pear, baked apple, lemon curd, and white peach layered with notes of vanilla bean, toasted brioche, and a gentle hint of baking spice from measured oak influence. On the palate it is supple and medium‑bodied, showing a creamy texture supported by bright acidity, with flavors of citrus cream, golden apple, and subtle hazelnut leading into a smooth, lingering finish. Its combination of freshness and roundness makes it a natural match for roasted chicken, seared scallops, crab cakes, creamy pasta dishes, grilled corn, mushroom risotto, or soft cheeses like Brie and Camembert, where its fruit‑oak interplay enhances both richness and delicacy.
