Tasting Notes

The basic Restless River Chardonnay uses younger vine material and around 20% of the 26-year-old Ava Marie vineyard. It's a very smart white from Craig Wessels, overcoming the challenges of a tricky vintage. Barrel fermented in 10% new oak with 50% malolactic, it's a refined, tangy, elegant white with citrus, wet stone and rice pudding notes and a lingering finish.
