We drank it along with a Picq Chablis and that's just where my tastes are now. This was fairly rich wih some oak and vanilla cream, whereas the Chablis was more chiseled, acidic and minerally. I'll pass on these from now on. (1299 views) | | | Tasted by Outplaying on 8/25/2012: Really enjoyed this wine last night. Aromas of citrus/lime with some mineral. Tart apple and pear, some cream, popped corn and a little oak. My tastes have shifted more towards white burgundy as I like the lemon, acid and minerality, but this was very nice and we both enjoyed it. (1292 views) | | | Tasted by Diane (LI) on 4/16/2012: Very pleasant wine that I brought along to a new neighborhood byo. Light apple taste with just a hint of oak, and everything in balance.

Group's #4, my #5.
I could not place the nose at all, it was subtle. Maybe a little green apple and tobacco aroma?
Another burning hot finish on this one.

| August West Producer website Chardonnay The Chardonnay GrapeRosella's VineyardIn 1996, Gary Franscioni planted the 50-acre Rosella’s Vineyard, named for his wife, on their estate property just 1˝ miles north of Garys’ Vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands Appellation of Monterey County. We have been sourcing grapes from this vineyard site since 2005 and believe that Rosella’s Vineyard, with Gary Franscioni’s exceptional farming practices, produces a unique wine representing the best of the Santa Lucia Highlands. Santa Lucia Highlands has proven to be a world class appellation, and we are proud to offer a wine from this great vineyard.

Exact position 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 Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
