Tasting notes
The 2019 Chardonnay Olivet Ranch comes from a vineyard in the Russian River. Its lighter gold hue gives way to a salty, vibrant, mineral-laced, and medium-bodied Chardonnay with bright citrus and lemon fruits, nicely integrated acidity, good overall balance, and classy spice and chalky mineral nuances. It's going to benefit from a year in bottle and keep for 7-8. It's not your classic Russian River Chardonnay and reminds me more of a seaside, Sonoma Coast release. It's beautifully done.

The 2019 Chardonnay Olivet Ranch is another stellar wine in this range from Failla. Deep and expansive on the palate, the Olivet Chardonnay is also super transparent, making for a highly engaging wine that overdelivers on so many levels, the most important being in its sheer appeal.
