2019 Chardonnay, Taddei Block, Russian River Valley

$45.00/750mlAlcohol: 14.5%

The 2019 TADDEI Block, Unoaked Chardonnay, is vinified from 100% Rued Clone from the TADDEI Block vineyard, located on Old Vine School Road in the Russian River Valley AVA. Situated in one of the most prestigious Chardonnay growing areas in the world, the vineyard is planted in Goldrich loamy soils, a chalky, sandy soil that drains easily. Our Chardonnay was barrel aged for almost two years on the lees and aged in 100% Oak Barrels. Our Rued clone Chardonnay brings elegance and breadth to the palate. Expressing almond, flint, and butterscotch on the nose with a palate comprised of pear and jasmine, apricots and citrus zest, mingled with an elegant balance of freshness, and a hint of toasted brioche on the finish. Chris chose the best 2 barrels for this reserve selection.
