Arista Winery Chardonnay Russian River Valley, Banfield Vineyard – 2016 – The Wine Advocate – 93+ Points
93+ points
From dry-farmed, 45-year-old Wente clone vines, the 2016 Chardonnay Banfield Vineyard gives up toast, orange blossom, white peach and apricot aromas with minerally and earthy nuances. Medium-bodied with pure fruits in the mouth plus tons of spicy accents, it has good texture and great juicy acidity, finishing long.
