| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.4 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 13 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Dhotchki on 2/25/2017 & rated 86 points: A bit one dimensional. Lots of apple notes, hint of straw, mellow. Not much crispness. May have let sit too long. (668 views) | | | Tasted by ScubaSommelier on 3/8/2014 & rated 91 points: Enjoyed this. Found a good balance of malo fermentation, resulting in a creamy, but not too creamy, finish. Flavors of apricot, green apples, and pears. Very nice. (1199 views) | | | Tasted by davewr on 12/8/2013 & rated 86 points: Not typical of their other chards. Not the creamy, buttery that is, for me, a trademark of their chards, which I prefer. More like the "new" Cali chards. (1031 views) |

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 CountyDry Creek Valley Winegrowers of Dry Creek Valley | Dry Creek Valley Association | Appellation America | San Francisco Chronicle Article |
