Finish is a bit off. Ok but I am not sure if I would buy again. (2575 views) | | | Tasted by Mike Kopanski on 9/15/2012 & rated 86 points: I've never tasted a wine like this. Nothing is typical for a California Chardonnay. There is a big hit of those vegetable, green garden flavors and aromas we find in wines from Gascony in France. There is even a greenish tint to the color. The nose is pungent to say the least with vegetaive aromas we rarely associate with wine. The fruit, and vegetables on the palate are sharp, crisp, and intense, but not necessarily likeable. The lemon/lime factor is really strong. There is mango, nectarine, green apple skin, not quite ripe melon, and asparagus. There is a big mouth full of relatively strange flavors. Crisp acidity. I doi not enjoy tasting this one, but can see how some would appreciate it.

There was a little lemon and even less pear and the highly citrus styling was more reminiscent of a Sauvignon blanc than an unoaked Chardonnay. St. Supery is one of my favorite wineries but this was not what we expected. Not poorly made, but not characteristic of Chardonnay. (2975 views) |
| St. Supéry Producer web siteChardonnay 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 Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Napa ValleySt. Helena |
