Score 94/100 · Drink 2017-2025, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Mar 2017
The 2015 Chardonnay River Block is classy, understated and polished. Ripe apricot, honey, chamomile, mint and lightly buttered notes are some of the signatures. This is an especially nuanced, finessed Russian River Chardonnay, with all the elements in the right place.

Delivering layers of tropical fruits—pineapple, passion fruit and guava—the 2015 Chardonnay River Block has nuances of brioche, beeswax and garrigue. The medium to full-bodied palate has a beautiful oiliness to the texture and richness of fruit with a very lively backbone and great length, with some citrus zest notes. 223 cases were made.
