Longboard 2013 Rochioli Vineyard Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Rochioli Vineyard
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Longboard / Russian River Valley

From one of the appellation’s marquee vineyards, this white shines in a petrol-y barrel essence, which should integrate well and add complexity over time. Yellow apple skin, anise and honey paint the rest of the picture, around a medium-strength body and texture, finishing off in sizzling minerality. Cellar through 2018.
