 Tasted by danershi@gmail.com on 11/29/2012 & rated 85 points: Nice for the price. Aromas of apple and melon. Melon, citrus and some oak on the tongue. (1842 views)
 Tasted by The Drunken Cyclist on 7/10/2012 & rated 86 points: Retail ~$12 a bottle. I paid $15 a glass. Sure, I overpaid for this wine, but it was great to see it on the wine list. On the nose it took me back to my visits to their tasting room with Julie, their delightful tasting room server. It also had grapefruit, lemon and a hint of grassyness. On the palate it was a bit thin, but carried the citrus all the way through. The finish, as well, was a bit underwhelming, but the wine was a perfect fit to allow me to reflect a bit on the past while getting excited about the immediate future. Good to Very Good. 86 points.

Chardonnay

The Chardonnay Grape

USA

American wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.

California

2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson
