2017 Walker Station Vineyard Chardonnay
92 pts
Jeb Dunnuck
"Brought up in 60% new French oak and from a site in the cooler Green Valley region of the Russian River, the 2017 Chardonnay Walker Station offers pure, classy notes of stone fruits, white flowers, crème brûlée, and toasted bread. Elegant and medium-bodied, with integrated acidity and a great finish, it's a terrific Chardonnay."

Introducing
Walker Station
Vineyard owner Harry Walker has grown wine grapes in Napa Valley, Knights Valley, Dry Creek Valley and Lodi since 1968. In 2001 he found an ideal site on an east-facing slope in a cool valley southwest of Forestville in Sonoma County. He planted 3.2 acres of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Now retired, Harry approached us about leasing his vineyard and we leapt at the opportunity to farm this little gem renowned for exquisite fruit. We have exclusive access to the grapes, and we vineyard designate both the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
