CRESTA RIDGE VINEYARD – RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY

The 2018 Chardonnay from Cresta Ridge Vineyard is a refined, site-driven expression of Russian River Valley elegance. Crafted from Dijon clones and aged in French oak, this wine balances vibrant citrus and orchard fruit with subtle toasted hazelnut and gentle baking spice. Cool-climate growing conditions preserve natural acidity, giving the wine precision, freshness, and a polished texture. The result is a versatile, food-friendly Chardonnay with mineral depth, restrained richness, and a long, clean finish.
