Initially, the 2022 Arista Russian River Valley Chardonnay offers notes of wet stones, caramelized sugar, and candied lemon peel. As the wine opens up, layers of lemon-lime, oyster shell, and white flowers reveal themselves. On the palate, this wine’s silky and voluminous mouthfeel is beautifully balanced by subtle saline minerality that adds complexity to the wine. The finish is crisp and clean, leaving mouth-watering sensation that lingers pleasantly.
