2021 CONVENE RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY CHARDONNAY Convene, a rising star in the world of fine wines, traces its roots to Dan Kosta, co-founder of Kosta Browne. Kosta, a luminary whose 2011 creation secured the coveted title of Wine Spectator's #1 Wine, needs no further introduction. Shane Finley, Convene's masterful winemaker, has honed his craft since 2006 within the hallowed cellars of Kosta Browne. Under the tutelage of Dan and Michael Browne, he absorbed a wealth of knowledge, culminating in a fruitful collaboration to create exceptional Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays sourced from California's diverse terroirs. The 2021 Chardonnay exemplifies Convene's unwavering commitment to excellence. Meticulously crafted from grapes sourced from select vineyard sites like Bucher Home Ranch, Bucher Rudd, Stilling, and Pratt-Irwin, this Chardonnay undergoes extended lees aging. This meticulous process results in a captivating wine boasting a distinctive profile where toasted brioche and roasted nuts meld seamlessly with lively fruit notes, intriguing mineral undertones, and invigorating acidity.
