Wine Advocate, 94 Points 

"The 2018 Chardonnay River Block comes from a section along the river planted in 1989 to Wente clone vines. The nose opens with a pleasant waft of candle smoke and gunflint over a core of white peaches with accents of roasted almonds and honey. The palate is light to medium-bodied, silky and fresh with gently savory fruits and a long, earthy finish."

"Rochioli's 2018 Chardonnay River Block is rich, bold and luscious. Orange peel, mint, butter, dried flowers, chamomile and lightly honeyed notes show the oiliness and texture that is typical of Wente Clone Chardonnay. Rochioli originally sourced this wood from Kistler's Vine Hill property."
