The Bacigalupi Vineyard: The Bacigalupi Vineyard is situated along Westside
Road region of the Russian River Valley, outside the town of
Healdsburg. Situated on a western bench, Helen and Charles Bacigalupi have been recognized for growing Chardonnay and Pinot
Noir for well over 30 years along with other world class neighboring
producers, including Rochioli and Williams-Selyum.
The Vintage: The 2005 vintage in the Russian River Valley was old
world in nature. A cool spring was followed by a summer of moderate
temperatures and a harvest season ideal for the Burgundian varieties
of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

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.
