2024 Russian River Valley Chardonnay

winemaker notes

the 2024 growing season in the russian river valley was characterized by a balanced combination of warm days and cool, fog-laden nights.

on the nose, the 2024 calculated risk russian river valley chardonnay is intense and complex, offering layers of peach, apricot, lemon tart, and touches of tropical notes. on the palate, the wine is balanced and lively, with the return of pit fruit flavors and a hint of honeysuckle. vibrant acidity carries the wine to a long, satisfying finish. enjoy now or cellar for added complexity over the next 5–7 years.
