2023 Ridge Vineyards Chardonnay Estate Monte Bello Vineyard
Country:Ā U.S.A.
Region:Ā Central Coast
Vintage:Ā 2023
CĆ©page: Chardonnay (100%)
Size: 750 ml
Rating(s): 94 (RP); 100 (JD)
" The 2023 Chardonnay Estate is a unicorn wine, with the acids naturally occurring with ease in this cool, long, extended growing season that the wine world is rightfully excited about, producing wines of tremendous elegance and balance, sourced entirely from Monte Bello Estate. The minerality is off the charts, exuberantly defining the wine after a barrel fermentation of nine months on the lees in 85% American and 15% French oak, 15% of it new. Gorgeously lengthy and bright, winemaker John Olney recommends that for primary fruit, it's best to drink through the first 7-8 years; for fans of later-aging wines, wait 20 years. I adore this wine."
