Ridge Ridge Estate Chardonnay 2024 750ml

A beautiful, toasty, buttery wine, full-bodied and abundant in fruit and oak spices, showing baked-apple, ripe-pear, butterscotch and brioche flavors. Made from 40-year-old vines of the Wente clone, growing on limestone soil and fermented in 4% new oak, mostly American. Drink now or hold.

A distinct white, with impressive spice notes including nutmeg, black cardamom and clove that add a warm, toasty quality to the grilled Meyer lemon and Fuji apple flavors. Shows touches of panna cotta and gingersnap, with firm crushed rock minerality and toasted brioche details that are harmonious and complex on the finish. Drink now through 2038.
