Sonoma County, California

Wine Enthusiast 90 points! (on the 2021 vintage)

Raeburn is an Olde English term which means the river where one goes to drink. So it’s fitting that Raeburn’s expressive, beautifully balanced Chardonnay begins in the heart of the Russian River Valley where some of the world’s finest Chardonnay grapes are grown.

“This well-rounded, fruity and lightly oaked wine offers the classic baked apple, butter and vanilla flavors backed by mild green apple acidity and a full body.”—Wine Enthusiast 90 points! (2021 vintage)

Raeburn Chardonnay shows an array of complex fruit tones ranging from pear and Gravenstein apple to nectarine. The fruit is beautifully complemented with toasted oak, vanilla and hints of Crème Brûlée with a balanced and elegant finish. 75% malolactic fermentation, 75% barrel fermented in French & Hungarian Oak, 50% new, 6 months sur lie aging.

Enjoy Raeburn Chardonnay with lobster, roast chicken, grilled salmon, and aged cheeses.
