An intense style, with a firm and juicy thread of Meyer lemon and Asian pear flavors that are crunchy and mouthwatering, balanced by fresh ginger, Honeycrisp apple, lime zest and citrus blossoms, along with notes of lemongrass and lemon verbena. Really sings on the long finish. Drink now.

Pure and succulent, with fleshy peach, apricot and melon notes highlighted by vibrant acidity. Accents of apple pastry, pineapple and Himalayan sea salt linger, as do lemon verbena and sweetgrass aromatics. Drink now.

The 2023 Chardonnay Olivet Lane Vineyard is gorgeous. Rich, creamy and expansive, the Olivet Lane offers up an attractive mix of orchard fruit, white flowers, tangerine peel and white pepper. The combination of fruit presence and energy is compelling. This is the essence of the Russian River in a cold year.

The 2023 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley) is a potent, boisterous wine. Black cherry fruit, mocha, new leather, licorice and spice notes saturate the palate. This is classic Russian River in its fruit exuberance and overall shape, but there's plenty of acid and tannin to balance things out.

A fresh and pretty example of classic Russian River chardonnay from a cool vintage. Aromas of just-ripe tropical fruit plus a bit of toasty oak and honeysuckle. A full body and rich mouthfeel, with flavors of minerals and sliced green apples. Full-bodied. Drink or hold.
