The
Bacigalupi Vineyard: The Bacigalupi Vineyard is situated along Westside Road region of the Russian River Valley, outside the town of Healdsburg.

Russian River Chardonnay Tasting Notes: Elegant and refined, this fruit provides the perfect venue for showcasing the Russian River Valley terroir. The 2005 vintage offered our international winemaker, Kerry Damskey grapes that hinted of their old world pedigree. Not over blown and pretentiously bold, this wine gives the refined impressions of mineral, creamy pears and summer garden floral notes. This wine does not swagger; instead it gives the imbiber a perfectly balanced and refined wine experience. A signature wine, the voluminous of the middle palate is bright owing to a wonderful Russian River Valley acidity. A long sustainable and luscious finish establishes Macrae Family wines as a major player in next generation of California Chardonnay producers.
