2019 Arista "Perli" Mendocino Ridge Chardonnay

The Arista Winery is located in what is known as the iconic Middle Reach terroir of the Russian River Valley. From the winery: "A rare departure from our Russian River Valley offerings, the Perli Vineyard Chardonnay from the Mendocino Ridge appellation is worth the detour. The raciest Chardonnay in the Arista portfolio, Perli Vineyard Chardonnay is made from grapes grown on steep slopes above 1,000 feet within sight of the Pacific Ocean. Candied citrus and saline minerality form the centerpiece of the palate. Firm yet integrated acidity drives the crystalline finish."
