EstateChardonnay2023–RidgeVineyard

Entirely from the Monte Bello vineyard in the Santa Cruz mountains, where the vines were first planted in 1940, resting on fractured limestone soil. Chardonnay Estate 2023 offers a magnificent nose of crushed citrus fruit, flower oil, flint, toasted nuts and white flowers, with a perfectly integrated oak base. Its minerality, vibrant acidity and balance between extraction and concentration are worthy of aGrand CruwhiteBurgundy . A generous wine to be enjoyed over the next ten years.
