The Roost
2022, Mendocino County, USA
About the Wine
Blue Heron Vineyard, named for the many generations of great blue herons that have nested in the vineyard’s protected oak grove, nestles along the Russian River in Mendocino’s Sanel Valley, a pastoral area that benefits from steady sunshine and loamy riverbed soils. The vineyard is Regenerative Organic Certified and produces exemplary Chardonnay with rich fruit flavours and fresh acidity.
Tasting Notes
Bright and aromatic, the 2022 vintage delivers fresh and nuanced complexity with a juicy fruit core. Aromas of lemon rind and honeysuckle open into tangerine and pineapple on the full, smooth palate, with subtle shades of magnolia and white tea. The excellent texture and viscosity is uplifted by fresh acidity.
