2019 Trenton Roadhouse Chardonnay Russian River Valley
Notes
Green-tinged pale yellow. Lifted, poised and pretty aromatics of newly pollinated citrus flowers and yellow orchard fruit flesh coupled with mineral underpinnings and soil influenced earthen base tones. A palate filling host of lush ripe pitted fruit flavors pinned by lovely natural acidity fills out the mid palate with a balanced and persistent presence. In a word…prettier than our other Chardonnays with an elevated and unique mix of light floral and fruit perfumes woven throughout its soil influenced notes. Offers an extra-long and memorable lasting finish. Delicious.

While the 2019 Chardonnay Trenton Roadhouse comes from the Russian River, it has a Sonoma Coast-like sense of minerality and freshness, with vibrant lemon and poached pear fruits, notes of crushed stone, flowers, and honeyed toast, medium body, bright acidity, and a great, great finish. It's going to benefit from a year in bottle and cruise for a decade.

The 2019 Chardonnay Trenton Roadhouse is one of the most reticent wines in this range. Bright saline and mineral notes give the Trenton Roadhouse terrific energy and cut. Readers should plan on cellaring the 2019 for at least a few years, as it is pretty reticent at this stage. Even so, the wine's beauty and elegance are impossible to miss. Goldridge soils with fine-grained sands over clay yields a Chardonnay of tremendous class.

The 2019 Chardonnay Trenton Roadhouse is plush, open-knit and gregarious, offering immediate appeal in a portfolio of cellar-worthy 2019s. The nose is toasty and gregarious with a fragrance of golden apples, roasted almonds and beeswax. The full-bodied palate features loads of expansive fruits and savory tones streaked with graphite and finishing very long and energetic.
