Fruit overwhelmed for me. Aged well so no worries about its staying power. (346 views) | | | Tasted by Jkuryak on 4/22/2017 & rated 92 points: Delicious (1056 views) | | | Tasted by MicklethePickle on 5/2/2015 & rated 94 points: Fabulous. Deep yellow with good viscosity. Excellent nose. Rich, honeyed, with creme brûlée notes. Very lovely rich fruit in the mouth. Full but not fat. Great presence and body, with notes of honey and cream. Gotta love this. 5-13-17-9: 94/100. (2150 views) | | | Tasted by MicklethePickle on 4/17/2015 & rated 92 points: Oily-looking burnished yellow-gold. lacking legs a bit. Still, I love how this wine looks. Creamy, buttery, tropical fruit nose. Quite forward. Has just enough steel to it in the mouth to balance what still is a fleshpot of a wine. Rich, voluptuous, and beautifully textured, this checks all the boxes, especially in the mouth. Can't believe this remains largely unknown. Could give plenty fine French Burgundies a run for their money. Very nice. 4-12-17-9: 92/100. (1885 views) | | | Tasted by MicklethePickle on 3/25/2015 & rated 95 points: Light yellow-gold. Good legs. Fabulous banana-taffy nose hits you right out of the gate. Still, not fat or overdone. Oily. Rich in the mouth, crime brûlée flavors and a very long, rich, baking spice finish. This is a home run all the way, knocked way out of the park! 4-14-18-9: 95/100 (1984 views) | | | Tasted by MicklethePickle on 3/16/2015 & rated 92 points: Wonderful wine. Golden yellow, oily with great legs. Tremendously rich, honeyed nose with exotic tropical fruits. Fat, rich fruit on the palate, with burnished crime brûlée at the fore. This is really special, a perfect wine with lobster, and a long, sensuous finish. What a great wine, and only $33 on special at the winery. Seriously good stuff. 4-12-17-9: 92/100. (1700 views) | | | Tasted by Jona on 1/18/2015 & rated 83 points: Big big chardonnay but it needs time to integrate the rich fruit and the strong oak character.

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 CountyAlexander Valley Alexander Valley Winegrowers Association | Wikipedia
