Winemaker Matt Sands sourced Old Wente Clone Chardonnay from Blocks G and E of the famous Ritchie Vineyard in Sonoma’s Russian River Valley. A fresh squeeze of ripe lemon lifts out of the glass, accompanied by white flowers, pineapple rind and guava. The palate is incredibly plush and dense with Meyer lemon, apricot and coconut shavings; all kept fresh and lively by a deep mid-palate salinity and grip. Aged 18 months in 62% new French oak barrels. Waypoint wines are produced by Matt Sands and Philippe Melka.
