Raeburn Winery, an Impact "Hot Prospect" winner for four years in a row, expands its Chardonnay offerings with Raeburn 2020 Barrel Select Russian River Valley Chardonnay (SRP: $29.99. The wine is now available at BevMo! retailers in California and Georgia.

The original Raeburn Sonoma County Chardonnay is a top five selling Ultra-Premium Chardonnay and Raeburn 2020 Barrel Select Chardonnay is an elevated version of that wine. It was crafted from the winemaker's favorite vineyard lots in the Russian River Valley and aged for 11 months in a combination of French, American and Hungarian oak barrels.

"Our Barrel Select is a luxurious expression of our Chardonnay, says Steven Urberg, Director of Winemaking, Purple Brands. "This Russian River Chardonnay was crafted from our favorite vineyard lots that creates a supremely structured and flavorful wine. We hope customers enjoy it as much as we do."

Raeburn 2020 Barrel Select Chardonnay received 92 points from Wine Enthusiast. The wine has also received 93 points from Tasting Panel and its sister publication, SOMM Journal as well as being selected as a "Publisher's Pick". The review noted, "It's distinguished round body reins in the inherent richness of oak, while opulent notes of lemon blossom, honeyed apples, ripe melon, and cashew on the palate. The lush caramel finish is memorable."

Raeburn is inspired by founder, Derek Benham's mother Phyllis, a lifelong lover of nature. She thrives in the outdoors and ultimately, her passions turned to a commitment to protect and conserve the wilderness she loves.  Her way of life is to leave a light footprint or none at all. Raeburn uses the same approach when crafting their wines by picking the best fruit from Sonoma County's best vineyards.  

The wine invites you to slow down to observe, appreciate and flourish in nature's surroundings. Enjoy it with cheese, pork tenderloin, squash dishes on your holiday table, or after a long hike. Share your experience with Raeburn on social media (@Raeburn_winery).
