| Community Tasting Notes (average 93 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 4 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by James Kim on 12/30/2015 & rated 93 points: From memory. Gold color. Nice aromas of apples, honeywax, herbs. Palate showed slightly honeyed apples, unripe pears, herbs, nuts. Very good acids give it lift. Elegant, seamless and beautiful. Just really nice. A phenomenal bargain at $15. Wish I would have bought more. (293 views) | | | Tasted by gutt22 on 2/21/2011: 13.9% alcohol. In a funny place right now. Evolved yellow color. Muted bouquet of oak and apple. In the mouth, tasting oxidized. Not sure what was up with this bottle, but it was different from the previous. It didn't seem to be flawed, but certainly head-scratching. NR (1173 views) | | | Tasted by glaze3 on 11/28/2010: Lovely pale yellow color. Muted nose of apple, pear, and pineapple. Palate is loaded with tart apple, lemon/lime zest and a great mineral streak. Just a really nice extremely pure Chard. Excellent! (1371 views) | | | Tasted by gutt22 on 9/16/2009: 13.9% alcohol. Light yellow color. Initially a bit of oak on the nose, which blew off to incorporate apple, pear, and lemon zest notes, along with minerals. In the mouth, a gorgeously pure and balanced Chardonnay that shows power without being weighty. Full of slightly green-tinged apple, pear, and a slight citrus streak. Good acidity. Long finish that was most impressive. Youthful. Needs a couple more years. But delicious. A- (1403 views) |

Producer Location (Google Maps)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 CountyRussian River Valley Russian River Valley Winegrowers Association | Wikipedia |
