Rochioli Russian River Chardonnay 2019

This straw-yellow wine has a concentrated aroma of ripe apple, apricot, vanilla, and a touch of spice. The rich apple flavors and crisp acidity combine with a hint of hazelnut for a long, balanced finish. As most know, those with the patience to cellar this wine will be rewarded. Pair this wine alongside grilled chicken, lobster, crab cakes, linguine with white clam sauce.

Critical Acclaim

92Wine Enthusiast

A rich, full-bodied and deliciously complex white, this is made from several blocks of the famous estate, 56% from River Block, 37% Mid 40 and 7% Little Hill. With a reductive intensity of petrol on the nose, it shows soft layers of toasted oak, creamy apple and baking spice.

The 2019 Chardonnay Estate is fresh and bright, with a minerally undercurrent supporting citrus fruits and touches of almonds, flowers and graphite. The light-bodied palate has a silky texture and lovely balance of bright fruit and nutty undertones, and it finishes long and fresh.
