The Russian River Valley Natural’ is a blend of special high quality lots of 65% Pinot Noir and 35% Chardonnay grapes from the Russian River Valley. Korbel’s fruit forward “house” style is once again executed in the 2018 Vintage Natural’ bringing aromas of bright green apple and delicate pear to life alongside fresh white peach and floral Meyer lemon, and finishing with juicy strawberry and an essence of lemon zest. The drier 0.7% dosage level allows all the aromas and flavors to really shine while perfectly rounding out the structure and balance of the blend.
