J. Rochioli Estate Grown Chardonnay 2024

Rochioli's wines are masterful expressions of their estate's terroir, boasting a unique combination of varied soils and microclimates. Their 2017 Chardonnay Estate is a true standout, boasting a rich, vibrant color and an effervescent quality. The wine's sophistication and character are expertly balanced, with bright yellow apple and golden honey touches paired by a elegant hint of toasted oak. The acidity is lively, whereas the linger is long and satisfying. This is undoubtedly one of the finest Russian River Chardonnays available.

Rich and well-rounded wine with a understated yet pronounced stone fruit character, elevated by floral and herbal notes, and finished with a bright tartness and a lingering citrus and mineral note.

Symphony of fresh fruit and citrus layers unfolds on the palate, with a nuanced depth that reveals a well blended evenness of white peaches, green apples, Asian pears, and melon, all tempered by a racy mineral finale and light oak undertones, accompanied by a satisfying toasty warmth.
