Classic CA Chardonnay. (2364 views) | | | Tasted by Benj on 12/28/2013 & rated 86 points: Nice quaffable example of supple, round California Chardonnay. Oaky but not overdone, alcohol not too high (13.5%). Medium-low acid makes this just a touch flabby, but it is far more pleasant than many overdone, overoaked Chardonnays. Simple, refreshing and tasty. $16. (3212 views) | | | Tasted by sschacter on 12/22/2013 & rated 86 points: Citrus, melon and floral. A hint of vanilla. Finishes soft. Low acid. Overall a pleasant wine with chicken or meaty fish (2935 views) | | | Tasted by DanSm on 6/25/2013 & rated 88 points: Old-School California Chard, the oaked style widespread before the wineries piled into wanting to be French/France. (3715 views) | | | Tasted by Tiderunner22 on 6/13/2013 & rated 86 points: Creamy medium body chardonnay with typical California oak profile. I would serve this wine more chilled than usual to minimize the oak which is a little distracting. (3585 views) | | | Tasted by mlplus on 5/10/2013 & rated 86 points: Purchased in ca. Jo likes it. (1989 views) | | | Tasted by HRFishbowl on 3/2/2013 & rated 87 points: light straw approaching gulf shore sand. honey fruit, medium finish.

Chardonnay The Chardonnay GrapeUSAAmerican 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.California2021 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 Sonoma CountyMendocino CountySonoma CountySonoma Coast |
