August 29, 2019 - 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.

April 16, 2019 - 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.

October 5, 2018 - Favorite Chardonnay: not heavy on the oak: more citrus and lemon... a bit of Sauvignon Blanc feel to it.

October 20, 2017 - 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.
