2018 ROCHIOLI ESTATE RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY CHARDONNAY

Rochioli is one of the most distinguished vineyards in North America, and it’s revered for producing powerful and vividly distinct berries.  The family recognized the potential to grow world class Burgundian varieties on their property early on, and they’re situated in a very diverse part of the Russian River Valley.  Their very first release was named The Best in America by the Wine Spectator, and decades later the following for their brand is stronger than ever.

Rochioli Chardonnay is made in a concentrated style with stunning focus and noble balance.  It’s big, but in all the right ways, with detailed impressions of candied fruit, rock minerals and honey dipped apple.

Their 2018 Estate Chardonnay combines fruit from their single vineyards, and was thoughtfully constructed to represent the essence and character of the entire estate.
