2009 Rochioli, South River Vyd Chardonnay, Sonoma County 1x750ml

Robert Parker 95

The 2009 Chardonnay South River is also fashioned from the Hanzell and old Wente clones. It exhibits more roasted hazelnut and tropical fruit characteristics intermixed with a hint of peaches and a stony component that adds to the wine’s minerality. This full-bodied, floral Chardonnay should drink well for 5-6 years or longer. [01/02/2011]
