Aglaia - 2020 Chardonnay - Russian River Valley
Aglaia was one of the three Graces commonly mentioned in Greek mythology who were ‘graceful and beautiful maidens.’ While it is not documented why early Phi Mus chose Aglaia for the name of our magazine, one theory is that, spelled phonetically, Aglaia may mean ‘angel or messenger.’ Which of course works perfectly for that important way we communicate with members.
We introduce you to Aglaia. This Chardonnay is a real gem. Hailing from the cool and foggy climate for the Russian River Valley in Sonoma County, this beautiful medium-bodied wine was grown slowly to build intense flavors over time. This wine was aged in French oak and displays a beautiful balance of fruit, oak and liveliness on the palate and exhibits lush mango and toasted almond. Balanced fruit with tarte acidity makes this wine a classic example of Premium Russian River Chardonnay.
