Rochioli Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2023
Rare Chardonnay release from Russian River Valley cult producer Rochioli. 94 Points "Editor's Choice" Wine Enthusiast: "Rich and creamy, teh Rochioli Chardonnay is a standout wine from the great vineyard owner and producer. It shines in a wealth of golden honey and salty oak, a well-balanced sensibility streaked through in a memorable, ying-yang of lushness and crisp Gravenstein apple." 92 Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): “Tom Rochioli's Chardonnay Estate is a classy, understated appellation-level wine from various blocks on the estate. Racy and beautifully textured, the 2015 is super-finessed from start to finish. Lemon confit, apricot, mint and chamomile add shades of nuance, but it is the wine's exceptional balance that stands out most. This is a gorgeous Chardonnay from Tom Rochioli." This wine is a fine example of the unique characteristics from the Rochioli property and the Russian River Valley. Aromas of ripe apple, tropical fruit, hazelnut and a touch of spice combine with the rich apple flavors and crisp acidity. A blend from different vineyard sites: 65% Mid 40, 35% River Block

Blend from Estate vineyards, 50% from the Mid-40, 40% from the River Block, and balance from Little Hill. Pale lemon color with aromas of white fruits, citrus, vanilla and biscuit scents. On the palate flavors of apple, peach, pear and floral citrus, vanilla notes, well balanced with acidity. Long finish ending with nutty toasty biscuit spice, mineral and citrus notes. Will age a bit.
