El Diablo

Vintage Notes

Planted in 2008 by then vineyard manager Ulises Valdez, El Diablo vineyard sits on a ridge above Eastside Road in Russian River Valley. Early in their relationship, he told the Senses team that “when you work hard, the fruit always tastes better.” That holds very true for El Diablo.

Winemaker Notes

“The 2022 El Diablo Vineyard Chardonnay tumbles out of the glass with evocative notions of juicy pears, Golden Delicious apples, and allspice plus nuances of honeysuckle and lemon drops. The medium to full-bodied palate has an alluring savoriness complementing the ripe apple and pear flavors, with just enough freshness and a long honey-nut laced finish.”
