Ladera Pillow Road Vineyard Chardonnay 2017 ($50). Ladera, known more for its mountain-grown cabernet sauvignon, acquired this 9-acre property in the Sebastopol Hills region of the Russian River Valley in 2006. Today, the chardonnay and pinot that come from the vineyard are outstanding. Ladera holds the wine in bottle for a year so the consumer gets the benefit of a year of additional age. Aged sur lies in 60 percent new French oak for 15 months, it has a creamy texture and just the right amount of oak flavors. Tropical fruit aromas, apple flavors with a hint of coconut.
