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.

A lifted floral element shows on the nose of this wine, with aromas of lemon blossom and honeysuckle mingling with ripe apple and nectarine. The palate brings focused acidity and a nice bit of grip, with flavors of roasted pineapple, Meyer lemon, sage, and white flowers dancing through the finish.

The 2023 Chardonnay Olivet Lane has slowly opening scents of matchstick, yellow peach, crème brûlée and jasmine. The medium-bodied palate offers ripe yet understated flavors and a gently mouth-coating texture. It’s balanced by refreshing acidity and has a long finish.

Slowly unfurling scents of cranberry, rhubarb, Earl Grey tea leaves, forest floor and dried herbs. The full-bodied palate offers concentrated, autumnal flavors. It’s structured by fine-grained tannins and mouthwatering acidity and has a long, layered finish.

Pretty aromas of white peach, guava, beeswax, grapefruit peel and candle smoke. The medium-bodied palate features nuanced, layered flavors. Its soft, mouth-coating texture is foiled by bright, mouthwatering acidity, and it has a long, flavorful finish.
