2021 | Arista Banfield Vineyard Chardonnay | Russian River Criolla Grande this zestyThe brightness and fresh herbs, such as parsley and lemongrass, come out nicely. Some flint. Its full bodied with a lovely density. It has plenty of ripe green apple, lemon lime and brioche flavors. So pure and beautiful. From 50 year old Wente clones. Very delicious now but will age beautifully. 97 Pts James Suckling
