OK for putting in my pasta sauce, but lacks freshness (not surprisingly) and acidity. (1172 views) | | Tasted by scott davis on 1/11/2009 flawed bottle: Madeirized. I am disappointed to find this bottle has a synthetic cork, which have well publicized premature oxidation issues. (1683 views) | | Tasted by blgros on 9/14/2008 & rated 91 points: Delicious. Some oak evident, but in good balance with apple/pear fruits and a sparkling acidity. Light body and elegant. (1729 views) | | Tasted by gutt22 on 8/31/2008 flawed bottle: Also madeirized. (1716 views) | | Tasted by gutt22 on 8/27/2008 flawed bottle: Madeirized. (1709 views) | | Tasted by gutt22 on 6/15/2008: Terrific Chardonnay. Very light yellow color. Excellent aromatics, with a touch of lemon peeking out from behind the apple and pear fruit. Outstanding acidity. A sense of grace and balance. At the same time, it's eminently quaffable. Enjoyable to drink all around.

| Novy Family Wines Producer WebsiteChardonnay The Chardonnay GrapeKeefer Ranch Details on weinlagen-infoUSAAmerican 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 CountyRussian River Valley Russian River Valley Winegrowers Association | Wikipedia |
