Tasting notes
The 2016 Chardonnay South River offers more lemon and floral aromas and flavors, and is medium-bodied, vibrant and lively on the palate, with a Grand Cru Chablis-like quality. Clean, balanced and impressively textured, it dances on the palate, has bright acidity, and a clean finish. It lacks some of the weight and richness found in the River Block but is a beautiful, singular Chardonnay.

The 2016 Chardonnay South River Vineyard offers a wonderfully savory nose of warm bread, toasted almonds, yeast extract and cashew paste with a core of lemon meringue pie, warm peaches and pink grapefruit. Medium to full-bodied with wonderfully intense citrus layers and savory sparks, it finishes long and zesty.
