2018 Ribbon Springs Chardonnay
2018 Ribbon Springs Chardonnay
APPLE BLOSSOM | WHITE LILAC | SILKEN
As layered and storied as the vineyard it’s produced from, our Ribbon Springs Chardonnay is our first and only Estate Single Vineyard Chardonnay.
“Opening with layers of fragrant apple blossom, lemon zest, white lilac, and a touch of flint, this wine radiates out of the glass. The palate is silken yet well-structured, bound with a vibrant core and a smart sensibility.”
-Gina Hennen, Winemaker
Appellation: Ribbon Ridge AVA
Farming: Estate single vineyard, LIVE certified
