Very clean and precise with sliced apples light lemon curd and blossom honey. Medium-bodied with a crunchy palate of stone and apple flavors and a chalk-like texture. Lovely consistency and length Crystalline at the end. A blend of all the vineyards used in Arista?s single bottlings. Drink or hold.

The 2021 Chardonnay Estate Grown is a new wine in this range. Layered vibrant and super-expressive the Estate Chardonnay brings together many of the elements that make these wines so attractive. It offers a beguiling mix of textural richness intense flavor and driving saline-infused minerality. Pear white flowers lime mint and slate all open in this chiseled finely cut Chardonnay. (Drink between 2024-2031)

In the glass it pours a bright straw/green hue and shows off a bit riper profile than those of the Ferren wines taking on ripe aromas of wet stones delicate baking spices fresh peach and lemon candies. Medium to full-bodied and approachable with a wide drinking window.

A blend of five Russian River Valley vineyard sites, this Chardonnay captures the fantastic character of the 2021 vintage. Fusing fresh lemon and white floral aromas with a throughline of minerality, this versatile Chardonnay is simultaneously easygoing and complex.  

Peak Drinking Window: 2023 – 2029.
