Tony Arcudi has great pedigree, with a degree from UC Davis, a fellowship in Hermitage France, and a stint as Heidi Barrett’s assistant, he is a knockout at his craft. This Chardonnay from the cool Russian River in Sonoma has notes of crushed citrus, lemon curd, spice, flowers, and rocky minerality. Medium plus bodied but at the same time it is fresh, elegant, and light on its feet. Aged 10 months in 20% new French oak, it’s a beautiful wine.
