The Story

Our 2024 Russian River Valley Chardonnay is sourced from two vineyards on either side of the Russian River. The majority of the blend (83%) is from Hopkins River Ranch on Eastside Rd. Our longtime source for our Sauvignon Blanc, this was our first time working with the Chardonnay from this amazing vineyard. We picked the grapes from a block of Chardonnay clone 809, which is a distinctive Chardonnay clone known to be a musqué variation. The musqué character is highly aromatic and loaded with floral and fruit character. To round out the blend we added 17% Chardonnay from historic Bacigalupi Vineyards across the river from Hopkins on Westside Rd.
