Arista 'El Diablo' Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2021
Description
El Diablo Vineyard is a steep, east-facing site on Windsor Ridge in the eastern reaches of the Russian River Valley appellation. This orientation allows the vines to benefit from the warming rays of the morning sun, while being protected from the direct impact of mid-summer afternoon heat. The result is a wine made from grapes that are fully ripe, but never lacking in bright acidity. In fact, the El Diablo Vineyard bottling is consistently one of our most focused and linear Chardonnays.
The 2021 Arista El Diablo Vineyard Chardonnay is a beautifully balanced wine that showcases the exceptionality of the vintage. On the nose, the wine offers an incredible bouquet of toasted marshmallow, white pepper, ripe pear, and lime zest that gives way to bursts of mango and grilled pineapple. On the palate, the wine boasts perfectly judged acid that provides a refreshing zing without being overtly tart. Subtle oak notes give this Chardonnay wine a creamy, caramelized sugar without
weighing down the bright, vibrant wine. This is El Diablo Vineyard at its absolute best.
