So well balanced and friendly. A (1192 views) | | | Tasted by ACR16719 on 8/7/2015 & rated 100 points: hands down the best chardonnay I have ever had.
Smooth, no oak, has body and finish. A mouthful. The price is killer though. (1415 views) | | | Tasted by 1961Vintage on 7/28/2015 & rated 93 points: Consistent with most recent reviews. (1003 views) | | | Tasted by ACR16719 on 3/1/2015 & rated 96 points: a great chardonnay
full, lots of pear
long finish (1379 views) | | | Tasted by gf2182 on 2/8/2015 & rated 93 points: As it warmed up a bit it just opened up beautifully..nice buttery med+ body. (1363 views) | | | Tasted by 1961Vintage on 12/24/2014 & rated 90 points: Would rate it higher except the oak seemed overly burnt. Kind of like a really awesome looking chocolate cookie, just a bit burnt around the edges. The 09 was so much better...just my opinion. The wine would be 94+ otherwise. (761 views) | | | Tasted by BigBoy_Sonoma on 9/13/2014 & rated 92 points: Peach, apricots, vanilla, cinnamon, hints of butter, minerality and a touch of oak. Well balanced. (1384 views) | | | Tasted by Jbird73 on 3/30/2014 & rated 91 points: Pretty gold in glass and notedly clear. Nose is more floral than fruity with rose jumping out. White peach and pear as well. In the mouth this is noticeably sweet at first but quickly reveals a really nice texture of light and slightly creamy. Finish is medium. Pretty good stuff here. Price though is high when compared to other great CA Chardonnay. (975 views) |
| Tuck Beckstoffer Producer websiteChardonnay 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 CountySonoma Coast * Sonoma Coast AVA (Wikipedia)
