Balletto Vineyards Chardonnay Sexton Hill Vineyard Estate Grown Russian River Valley 2022 (750ml) *

Chardonnay from the Russian River Valley tends to reward growers who let the fruit lead, and this estate-grown bottling from Balletto's Sexton Hill Vineyard sits squarely in that California tradition. It is a still white from the cooler Sonoma appellation, made from 2022 estate fruit, presented as a single-vineyard expression rather than a broad regional blend.

The Russian River Valley's fog-influenced climate typically gives Chardonnay a balance of ripe orchard fruit and firm acidity, and a vineyard-designate like this one is meant to show that sense of place with clarity. Without tasting notes on file we will let the wine speak for itself in the glass.
