Tasting notes
The 2019 Chardonnay Richard Dinner Vineyard is shy to begin, taking time to reveal saline, fresh quince, crushed nuts and white blossoms. The palate is medium-bodied and delicately styled, with pure fruits and bright mineral character, and its flavors linger for an extraordinarily long finish. Give it another 2-3 years in bottle. 297 cases were made.

The 2019 Chardonnay Richard Dinner Vineyard is fabulous. Bright, transparent and so expressive, the Dinner is a Chardonnay of total sophistication that shows just how magical this Sonoma Mountain site is. This is the first vintage made from the original parcel Paul Hobbs worked with at Simi Winery, that was redeveloped about five years ago.
