The 2017 Chardonnay Lolita Ranch has a fresh fruit profile, with bright notes of white peach and orchard fruits accented by citrus and floral hints. Light to medium-bodied, the palate is bright and tangy with lots of zip and zing from its citrusy character, finishing uplifted.

The 2017 Chardonnay Lolita Ranch is lush, unctuous and so inviting. Lemon confit, butter, matchstick, pineapple, passionfruit and dried flowers all flesh out in a Chardonnay that captures so much Russian River exuberance. Plush, silky and opulent, the 2017 offers tons of immediacy as well.
About the producer

Martinelli is a Sonoma benchmark for vineyard-designate bottlings—wines built to highlight how strongly a single site can shape Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah, and Zinfandel. Across the range, the focus stays consistent: small-production bottlings that feel distinctly tied to where they’re grown.
