"Released only in magnum, the 2017 Chardonnay Laguna Ridge Vineyard comes from a site located between Vine Hill and Trenton vineyards, in the heart of the Russian River. Exotic notes of orange blossom, ripe orchard fruits, toasted spice, and hints of floral notes all flow to a medium to full-bodied, beautifully concentrated, yet racy Chardonnay that has tons of verve and tension. With plenty of mid-palate depth, ample minerality on the finish, and straight-up awesome length, it will benefit from a year or two of bottle age and cruise for a decade or more."
