The 2020 Arista Winery Banfield Vineyard Chardonnay is a white wine from the northern edge of Green Valley, a sub-appellation of the Russian River Valley in California. The vineyard is dry farmed and was planted in 1980 to the Old Wente selection of Chardonnay. The vines are forty years old and grow in a protected pocket that collects cool night air, with a cooling influence from coastal fog.
Aromas of lime zest, fresh mandarin, wet granite, lavender, and grilled bread. The wine has firm texture, mid-weight density, and oyster shell minerality, with notes of Asian pear, quince, grilled peach, lime curd, wet stones, and candied lemon peel. It shows candied citrus, caramelized sugar, kiwi, and grilled pineapple, with a citrus-inflected minerality on the finish.
