The 2021 Chardonnay Lolita Ranch is fabulous. Soaring aromatics meld into a core of orchard fruit, baked apple tart, spice, lemon confit, mint and white pepper. Aromatically effusive and racy, with tons of Russian River exuberance, the Lolita Ranch is super-expressive in this tasting.

From a vineyard on Martinelli Road with the oldest soils of the estate, the bright silver/straw-colored 2021 Chardonnay Lolita Ranch reveals a light smoky incense note along with darker mineral aromas of honeysuckle, lemon curd, and the bright lift of fresh apples. Medium to full-bodied, it offers a good bit of fresh acidity, giving it a slightly more linear feel, and it has a delicate chalky texture on the finish with notes of candied lime. It’s going to show some real potential for aging over the next 10 years. I love the tension this cool site provides.
