Score 93/100 · Drink 2016-2023, Robert Parker, Mar 2016
The 2014 Chardonnay Riverblock (which comes from a site near the river, as the name suggests) is made from an old Wente clone. This is quintessential Russian River Chardonnay, with notes of tangerine oil, orange blossom, honeysuckle and lemon rind. It has a light greenish gold color and a full-bodied, beautiful, well-delineated mouthfeel and finish. Drink it over the next 5-7 years.

Rochioli's 2014 Chardonnay River Block is rich, layered and voluptuous, with plenty of the oiliness that is such a signature of the Wente clone. Peach, apricot, honey, wild flowers flesh out as the wine opens up into its expressive finish.
