Superb aromas of fresh-sliced pineapple, apricot, and honeysuckle bring you in for luscious flavors of orange marmalade, Bartlett pear, and Pink Marsh grapefruit. Plush tannins linger along with notes of nectarine, starfruit, and flint. Tropical fruits and impeccable structure make this the perfect pairing for white truffle gruyère mac and cheese topped with bacon bits or pan-seared mahi-mahi with pineapple salsa.

Nestled in the hills of the Northeastern end of the Russian River Valley, the Tripi Vineyard features spectacular growing conditions. The warm days and rocky clay soil grow the historic Wente clone Chardonnay with distinctively rich and intense flavors while the cool nights and foggy mornings preserve a balanced acidity and ensure a low Brix at harvest. Rocky clay soils remain generally cool and dense, as dense soil slows vine growth, which in turn increases grape concentration. The rocky clay also prevents drainage, which helps to grow grapes with ample tannins and acid at a slower pace, making the Chardonnay from this vineyard even more distinct. Farmed by the legendary Juan Rodriguez, this Limerick Lane vineyard has become one of our most prized Russian River Valley gems.
