Vineyard Notes
Located on the rolling hillsides on the eastern edge of the Russian River Valley, El Diablo Vineyard has gained a much-deserved reputation as a world-class Chardonnay site. Planted to a variety of soils, clones and exposures, the wines that come from El Diablo are complex, elegant and refined.
Winemaking Notes
A savory wine resulting from small Wente clone berries, the 2020 El Diablo Chardonnay balances freshness and acidity to create a mouthwatering wine. Brioche and pineapple juice aromas lead into notes of piña colada and banana cream pie on the palate, which carry through its lengthy finish.
