Community Tasting Notes (average 89 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 1 note) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by Mortgage92 on 3/21/2021 & rated 89 points: At $400.00 per bottle, we are going to document this wine!
In regards to color, this wine is greenish-gold with slow legs and a medium length and body. The texture is leathery, yes leathery (my wife said "this is a chardonnay that is trying to be a cab") - that sums up the texture. Aromas of lime, pear and flint with flavors of pear, lime and honeydew (in that order). I will firmly state that this wine has a long way to go, so if you are cellaring....keep it there for at least 5 more years! We may have drank this too early. (423 views)

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
