Williams Selyem Chardonnay Unoaked Russian River Valley 2015 750ml

Williams Selyem built its reputation on Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, but the winery's Chardonnays are just as sought after, and this Unoaked bottling shows the region's fruit with nothing in the way. Fermented and aged without new oak, the 2015 is all about purity and freshness. Wine Enthusiast described it as "a highly drinkable and enjoyable wine unfettered by wood," with honeysuckle and apple blossom aromas on a light, restrained frame. Pear and a hint of salinity carry through a long finish. A cool-climate Chardonnay for lovers of Chablis-style precision, it is drinking at its peak now and makes a lovely match for oysters, shellfish and simply prepared fish.
