2013 Rochioli Chardonnay River Block

Almonds, hazelnuts, orange peel and dried savory herbs meld together in the 2013 Chardonnay River Block. Rich, layered and sensual in the glass, the River Block impresses for its balance and personality. The style is a bit laid back relative to prior vintages, but these old Wente clones have plenty of richness on their own. This is one of the most vivid wines in the range. 93 points
