2013 Balletto Sexton Hill Vineyard Russian River Valley Chardonnay

13.8% alc., 480 cases, $38. · Moderately light golden yellow color in the glass. This wine has more vibrant bravado compared to the more creamy Cedar Ridge bottling and speaks more of a “stony minerality.” Citrus-driven, with a hint of lightly buttered brioche, this silky wine finishes with a steely resolve that is thirst quenching. Score: 93. Reviewed August 17, 2016
