Rivers-Marie Chardonnay Purrington Rued Sonoma Coast 2018

Vinous
The 2018 Chardonnay Purrington Rued Vineyard is a wine of tremendous character and nuance. Readers will find a lush, bold Chardonnay loaded with tropical fruit, sweet spice and ripe apricot flavors. In the glass, the 2018 offers quite a bit of textural depth if a bit less of the delicacy found in some of the other wines in the range.

From the Sonoma Coast, the 2018 Chardonnay Purrington Rued Vineyard is more steely and vibrant, with a crisp bouquet of pineapple, crushed citrus, honeyed flowers, and salty minerality. Medium-bodied and balanced, with juicy acidity, it has a good 7-8 years of longevity ahead of it.
