Tasting notes
From a site in the Mendocino Ridge region, the 2018 Chardonnay Manchester Ridge Vineyard is a clean, classy Chardonnay offering notes of tart pineapple, candied lemon, lime, and a touch of rocky mineral. With medium to full-bodied richness and bright acidity, it’s another elegant, balanced, incredibly impressive Chardonnay from this estate that should keep for 5-7 years.

The 2018 Chardonnay Manchester Ridge Vineyard charges out of the gate with notes of fresh pineapple, passion fruit and green guava plus hints of spice cake and shaved almonds. The palate is medium-bodied, elegantly styled, racy and refreshing, with a great backbone cutting through the intense tropical fruit flavors, finishing zesty. 133 cases were made.
