Heavy reduction day 1, day 2, really great! Agree with most reviews on here. Very nice.

So glad our impressions from the tasting at the Lytton Springs tasting room was borne out over a year later. You probably haven’t had a #chardonnay like this. This vintage has a distinctive green curry leaf (Bergera koenigii) aroma, backed by dried pineapple, toasted almonds. There’s some weight on the palate, stone fruit, pear and hints of vanilla. Beautifully complex and paired wonderfully with heirloom Mexican corn tortilla tacos. #ridgevineyards

Unique profile on this Santa Cruz Chard. Opens to nutty and nuance and settles to citrus and refreshing.

Medium bodied. Brioche, crunchy apples, lemon zest, hazelnuts, seashells, jasmin. Balanced wine, great freshness.
