RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY, NESTLED IN THE HEART OF SONOMA COUNTY

Blended from four distinct vineyards in the Russian River Valley, this Chardonnay showcases the region’s diverse terroir. Starr Ridge adds structure, Cresta Ridge brings acidity, Baker Ridge contributes richness, and Sons & Daughters Ranch adds aromatic complexity. The unique soils and cool-climate conditions create a well-balanced, complex wine.

Why we love this Wine

The 2016 Estate Chardonnay from Thomas George Estates is a harmonious blend of fruit from four esteemed vineyards in the Russian River Valley: Starr Ridge, Cresta Ridge, Baker Ridge, and Sons & Daughters Ranch. This Chardonnay combines the distinct characteristics of each site, resulting in a wine that offers both richness and balance. Aged sur lie for nine months in a mix of French oak, concrete egg, and stainless steel, this Chardonnay captures the vibrancy and complexity of its terroir, with a subtle malolactic conversion that brings a touch of creaminess without overwhelming its bright acidity.
