Extremely Limited Club Release - LESS THAN 50 CASES AVAILABLE

This limited Ritchie Vineyard release, composed of entirely Old Wente selection, is a classic example of rich, luscious Russian River Valley Chardonnay, with a backbone of minerality and acidity that keeps it crisp and lively on the palate. Aromas of key lime zest, nectarine and white tea leaves entice the palate, then the first sip opens up into an array of succulent flavors, including roasted Meyer lemon, white peach, lemongrass and wildflower honey. This wine is opulent and zesty, with an incredible palate weight and an oily texture that lingers on and on, into a nicely tart, mouthwatering finish.

This beautiful offering from the famed Rochioli Vineyard emanates aromas of lemon oil, honeysuckle, and dried herbs, with underlying layers of fl intiness and fresh cut cedar. The sandy, gravelly riverside soils, warm sunny days and morning fog yield an intensity and concentration that is unique to the Rochioli fruit.
