Kith & Kin Russian River Valley Chardonnay
Chardonnay
Beautiful aromas of green apple, tropical fruit, and a slight hint of oak leap from the glass. Flavors of kumquat and dried apricot mingle with layers of baked apple pie and lemon peel. The acid perfectly balances the creamy mouthfeel and leads to a lingering finish.

The family also owns a special 10 acre vineyard in the famed Oakville bench.
Russian River Valley
The Russian River Valley, located in Sonoma County, California, has become a standout AVA. Its proximity to the Pacific Ocean brings cooling fog that creates ideal conditions for a long growing season, allowing grapes to develop balanced acidity and complex flavors. The region's diverse soils and microclimates also contribute to a wide range of wine styles, attracting top winemakers and critical acclaim. The Russian River Valley consistently produces high-quality wines that play a key role in California's global reputation for winemaking excellence.
