| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.3 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 13 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Aztec94 on 4/24/2021 & rated 93 points: No specific notes, has some weight to it. Some oak with light butter, but nicely balanced with fruit and acid. Hits a sweet spot between old california chard and new. (366 views) | | | Tasted by PortFanatic on 5/2/2019 & rated 93 points: Straw color. Green apple. Touch of new oak. Big wine! Some nice nuances and details for such a mouth-filling wine. Great acidity in the very long finish. Excellent and impressive! (952 views) | | | Tasted by BoulderWine on 5/20/2017 & rated 90 points: Obviously still young so the jury remains out. Perhaps a little less fruit than past vintages but always well made, clean and balanced. Will wait a few months before popping the next bottle. (1649 views) | | | Tasted by 2palmtrees on 8/28/2014 & rated 94 points: I'm not going to say I'm have the most nuanced palate with regard to Chardonnay, though I've had my share. But this Journeyman is simply excellent. A great balance of oak and whistle clean Chardonnay taste, delicately layered and with excellent staying power. We served another bottle of this a few weeks back to a hard core (though inexpensive) Chardonnay drinker and she was astonished. I'll continue to buy Journeyman in the future. (2273 views) |
| Journeyman 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 CountyRussian River Valley Russian River Valley Winegrowers Association | Wikipedia |
