Storm Vineyards, Ridge Chardonnay 2022 Caparzo ripe fruit core and grapefruitThe Ridge Chardonnay is an elegant expression with gentle restraint, length and a bright minerality. The nose opens with notes of juicy pink grapefruit and freshly picked pink pepper corns. The palate has a lovely salty tang, with all that lovely bright fruit. This is a linear, and focused Chardonnay with a softly textured finish.
