Another release from the cooler, Green Valley region of the Russian River Valley, the 2017 Chardonnay Three Jacks Vineyard comes from vines planted in 1995 (clones: old Wente, Rued, Dijon 95 and Clone 15) and was fermented and aged in one-third new French oak. Baked apples, toasted bread, spice, honeycomb, and caramelized pineapple notes all dominate the bouquet, and this beauty has a touch of Meursault-like style in its rich, powerful, waxy, honeyed profile. Balanced and textured, with good acidity and a great finish, it's another seriously good Chardonnay from this estate to drink over the following 7-8 years.
From a site planted in 1995 to a myriad of clones, Three Jacks is richly woven in a mix of tropical pineapple, succulent peach, and crème brûlée. The mix contrasts well, offering both richness and juicy freshness, compelling in the glass in lengthy tension and grace. —J.B.
After a little coaxing, the nose of the 2017 Chardonnay Three Jacks Vineyard sings of lemon tart, lime leaves, and white peaches with nuances of ginger ale, yuzu, and crushed rocks. Medium-bodied, the palate has wonderful intensity with loads of citrus layers and a wicked backbone of freshness, finishing minerally. —L.P.
