Plumis Vineyard is Bravium’s estate Chardonnay planting, located on the north side of the Russian River near the small town of Forestville. This low-lying site is regularly blanketed by fog and winds that originate in the nearby Pacific Ocean, which slows ripening and provides balanced acidity in this wine. Bright and balanced, this wine perfectly reflects the cool-climate Russian River Valley vineyards where it was grown. Brilliant medium-gold color, with honey, pear, apple, pineapple, lemon oil, and white flowers aromas, and a judicious framing of vanillin oak. The wine opens with crisp pineapple and mango fruit flavors that turn into apple pastry on the full-bodied mid-palate. A finely-textured, invigorating mouthfeel, with medium acidity, turns into saline minerality on the lively and bouncy finish of this delicious Chardonnay. Awarded 92 Points in Wine Enthusiast, this is a Chardonnay perfectly suited for the Thanksgiving feast; capable of standing up to the roast turkey as well as the sausage, sage, and apple stuffing!
