2018 Montagne Russe Chardonnay ‘Silver and Gold’ Black Knight Vineyard Sonoma Coast

Montagne Russe started up in a small Napa garage in 2006. Having designed roller coasters as an engineering undergraduate, founder/winemaker, Kevin Bersofsky immediately had the inspiration for the label’s namesake.

The wines have impressive, wonderful texture, with great dynamic play between fruit and earth/stone minerality. Tiny artisanal production!

WSI94+ The nose reveals fresh notes of melon, white peach, smoke and wet stone. A burst of crisp minerality greats the palate, with flinty undertones and super vibrant savory notes throughout. The body is medium, well structured and offers delicate fruit, well integrated into the main characteristic of this vineyard, limestone and granite. Wow!
