Tasting Notes

The 2025 Riva Ranch Chardonnay opens with vibrant aromas of ripe Honeycrisp apples, fresh Bartlett pears, and toasted brioche, offering an inviting and expressive nose. On the palate, the well-developed fruit character is layered with a touch of creamy oak, revealing subtle notes of crème brûlée and a generous hint of buttery richness that extends through a long, elegant finish. A slightly viscous and supple mouthfeel is lifted by refreshing, well integrated acidity, bringing both balance and energy to this richly textured, beautifully crafted wine.
