JD95/WS95/V94 2018 Arista UV-El Diablo Vineyard Chardonnay – Award-Winning

Discover the 2018 Arista Chardonnay: A Masterpiece from Russian River Valley

Sourced from the renowned UV El Diablo Vineyard in California’s Russian River Valley, this 2018 Arista Chardonnay is a celebration of elegance and intensity. Crafted by a legacy of winemaking excellence, this bottle has earned a stellar 95-point rating from Jeb Dunnuck and Wine Spectator alike, solidifying its place among California’s most celebrated Chardonnays.

Taste the Complexity
This wine captivates with a harmonious blend of ripe melon and honeyed lemon, layered with floral nuances and hints of baking spice. The palate delivers a velvety texture balanced by crisp acidity, while subtle oak tones add depth without overpowering the fruit-forward profile. Cellar-worthy for up to a decade, it’s equally delightful now—perfect for savoring alongside creamy pasta dishes or rich seafood.

Why It Stands Out
– Vintage Excellence: 2018’s ideal growing conditions in Sonoma County amplified this Chardonnay’s natural vibrancy and complexity.
– Aged to Perfection: Aged in French oak barrels for 10 months, it achieves a seamless balance between richness and refinement.
– Versatile Pairing: Whether enjoyed at a formal dinner or a casual gathering, its versatility shines through every sip.

Awards & Accolades
– Jeb Dunnuck: “A brilliant Russian River Chardonnay with a poised elegance.”
– Vinous: “Bold and dramatic, with striking depth and textural richness.”
