{"product_id":"2024-taub-chardonnay-russian-river-valley-750ml","title":"2024 Taub - Chardonnay Russian River Valley (750ml)","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTaub Family Vineyards built its reputation on single-vineyard Napa Valley cabernet, but the family's story stretches back further, to a wine trade legacy that began shortly after Prohibition's repeal. In 2022 they expanded into Sonoma County, reuniting with longtime friend and consulting winemaker David Ramey, who also helped shape Saracina, the family's Mendocino property, decades earlier. Through that partnership the Taubs gained access to old-vine fruit from the Martinelli family's celebrated Russian River Valley sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis bottling is 100 percent Chardonnay drawn from Russian River Valley vineyards in Sonoma County, an appellation shaped by cooling morning fog off the Pacific. The growing season opened with a cool winter and moderate spring, then settled into temperate summer weather with regular fog and cool nights that preserved acidity and aromatic detail in the fruit. Even ripening produced clean, healthy clusters with balanced sugar and acid. David Ramey and Alex MacGregor oversee the winemaking, aiming to keep the fruit's natural freshness intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe wine offers bright aromas of yellow apple, Bosc pear, and lemon curd, with hints of honeysuckle and wet stone underneath. The palate turns juicy and creamy, carrying tangerine and crisp Granny Smith apple to a mineral-tinged finish. Serve it with roast chicken, seared scallops, or a soft triple-cream cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taub","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46330653376698,"sku":"104858","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/6836\/5498\/files\/TaubChardRRVBottle.jpg?v=1786642286","url":"https:\/\/bassins.com\/products\/2024-taub-chardonnay-russian-river-valley-750ml","provider":"MacArthur Beverages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
