Ridge Vineyards
Monte Bello Vineyard Chardonnay
Lush, with a nose of smooth oak. Enough acidity to be pleasant, but enough long creamy oak to appeal to the traditional Chardonnay drinker. Finish is very long. Flavors are mature, seems like an older wine than the vintage would indicate. $70 at winery.

Jun 9th, 2017This was so incredible. Burnt popcorn and tobacco. Rubber tire like Alsace. Such an interesting and unmistakably distinct flavor profile. Can't wait to check this out in a few years.

Clear and bright medium lemon
pronounced developing aromas of vanilla, walnut ripe pineapple, lemons, cream and tertiary aroma of cauliflower??
In mouth dry, creamy, medium plus acidity, high alcohol 14%! for a white!
Full body, rich mouthfeel, long finish
excellent with the exception of the alcohol, for me a little high
