Ridge Vineyards 2022 Estate Chardonnay

Monte Bello Estate Vineyard. This comes from the Monte Bello vineyard high above the valley floor in the Santa Cruz Mountains. This is a vintage that shows quite a good degree of balance. The nose opens with a waft of butterscotch followed by notes of lemon oil, apricot, and a bit of minerality. The palate is moderate in weight with lemon, just there oak, stone fruits and a delicate butterscotch to finish. Classic California Chardonnay for White Burgundy lovers. D&M Tasting Notes
