 Tasted by sellerscellar on 1/24/2014: Consitently solid CA Chard. Overdelivers at it's $15 USD price tag (WTSO). You can never go wrong with this Chard. It's not overly complex, but it's not thin or watered down either. It's not over-oaked or a butterball either. There's something for every Chard fan to like in this. There's some structure, a small amount of complexity, great flavor profile...hard to beat for an everyday Chard. (1557 views)

 Tasted by bkizzle on 3/10/2013 & rated 88 points: Really nice citrus nose. While a bit one dimensional overall a good drinking Chard. Nicely balanced oak. Mineral. Lemony. Acid there but muted. Good QPR (2221 views)
 Tasted by Nancygen on 11/2/2012 & rated 93 points: This is a favorite to many! Smooth, velvet clear taste. It won over many red only tasters; truly a wonderful wine. (2289 views)

The Chardonnay Grape

USA

American 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.

California

2021 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
