Winemaker Notes:Since 2010, the Olivet Ranch Vineyard site has gone through an impressively transformative process under the care of the Failla team. Alongside its production, the site has become a nursey for future plantings. Only native yeasts are used in the fermentation process and the wine ages in 30% concrete egg and 10% new French oak.

The 2019 Chardonnay Olivet Ranch comes from a vineyard in the Russian River. Its lighter gold hue gives way to a salty, vibrant, mineral-laced, and medium-bodied Chardonnay with bright citrus and lemon fruits, nicely integrated acidity, good overall balance, and classy spice and chalky mineral nuances. It’s going to benefit from a year in bottle and keep for 7-8. It’s not your classic Russian River Chardonnay and reminds me more of a seaside, Sonoma Coast release. It’s beautifully done.
