“Estero” is Spanish for Russian River, and in 2017, Licklider produced a Chardonnay as if his life depended on it, like he was competing with the best grower-producers in the Côte d’Or, treating Estero to his finest Burgundian script yet: From non-irrigated old Wente-clone vines, the 2017 Estero was barrel-fermented in neutral 600-liter oak barrels, underwent full malolactic conversation (adding creaminess), and aged in a combination of stainless steel and oak. If you’re familiar with the Burgundian whites of Roulot, Lafon, and Coche Dury, this is right up your alley.
