Russian River Valley, Panthera Chardonnay 2017

The word Panthera is believed to be of East Asian origin, meaning ‘the yellowish animal’ or golden-yellow. As a reflection of this moniker, we have crafted a striking golden-yellow Chardonnay that is opulent in style and beautifully textured. Rich and creamy upon entry with notes of lemon curd, crème brulee and candied lemon peel, this wine presents beautiful layers of stone fruit. Unctuous but focused, Panthera Chardonnay offers notes of buttered French toast and hints of well-integrated smoky oak that persist through a satisfying, long finish.
