Very clean and precise with sliced apples light lemon curd and blossom honey. Medium-bodied with a crunchy palate of stone and apple flavors and a chalk-like texture. Lovely consistency and length Crystalline at the end. A blend of all the vineyards used in Arista?s single bottlings. Drink or hold.

The 2021 Chardonnay Estate Grown is a new wine in this range. Layered vibrant and super-expressive the Estate Chardonnay brings together many of the elements that make these wines so attractive. It offers a beguiling mix of textural richness intense flavor and driving saline-infused minerality. Pear white flowers lime mint and slate all open in this chiseled finely cut Chardonnay. (Drink between 2024-2031)

In the glass it pours a bright straw/green hue and shows off a bit riper profile than those of the Ferren wines taking on ripe aromas of wet stones delicate baking spices fresh peach and lemon candies. Medium to full-bodied and approachable with a wide drinking window it has a lovely rounded texture and a weightless feel. It?s long on the palate and an outstanding entry to the range.

The 2021 Chardonnay Russian River Valley is deeply fruited yet fantastically energetic! It has layered aromas of flint baked apples chamomile honey almonds and top notes of lemon peel. The medium-bodied palate balances rich fruit and a luxuriously satiny texture with linear shimmery acidity and it has a long flinty finish. Published: Oct 10 2024
