World class Chardonnay that is perfectly balanced, creamy, round with notes of lemon, butter and almond. This is one of better base (non single vineyard) chardonnay’s I have tasted and is every bit as good as an Aubert.

Considering other reviews and Arista's reputation, we were rather disappointed. Not much body and muted lemon, almond and vanilla notes. Certainly not a Napa Chard, nor should it be, but it just didn't have the flavor or depth we expect in a Russian River Chard. Bummed.

Excellent. Full bodied,complex fruit flavors, a little bit buttery (just the right amount), but offset by its acidity. Top notch as all four of my guests agreed.

Favorite Chardonnay: not heavy on the oak: more citrus and lemon... a bit of Sauvignon Blanc feel to it.
