| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.3 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 38 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by PMJak11 on 10/8/2023 & rated 91 points: Had high expectations that weren’t achieved. Modest gold color. Big melons, camomile, and hint of lemongrass on the nose. Deep wine but lacking classic Chard/White Burg flavors. Overpriced unfortunately. (500 views) | | | Tasted by PMJak11 on 5/26/2023 & rated 96 points: Dark yellow color. Needs almost an hour to open up and I would make sure to pair with food. Started at 94 and ended at 97. Popcorn, cream, pears, and subtle apple. Thick and deep with a long finish. Was great! (436 views) | | | Tasted by Quiet Lion on 5/14/2022 & rated 92 points: Full-bodied Chardonnay with notes of banana, hazelnut, vanilla, and river rocks. Delicious. (749 views) | | | Tasted by markcic on 3/20/2022: Very enjoyable. A palate of apricot, melon, peach, a little vanilla and a touch of oak leading a moderately long finish. Paired with Sunday night sushi. (652 views) | | | Tasted by Winedad53 on 11/28/2021 & rated 91 points: Vibrant gold color, medium weight. Golden apple, honeydew, quince and citrus flavors on a lingering finish. (627 views) | | | Tasted by markcic on 11/14/2021 & rated 92 points: With Sunday night sushi. A palate of Apricot, peach, a little vanilla and a touch of oak leading a moderately long finish. It was a very good pairing. (625 views) | | | Tasted by denniswdern@gmail.com on 2/27/2021 & rated 94 points: Beautiful golden color.
The wine looks yellow gold colored. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like melon, pear and honeysuckle. It tastes like melon, pear, oak and coconut. The body is light/medium. The wine has polished texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity. (667 views) | | | Tasted by Ianthemac on 2/10/2020 & rated 94 points: Another blockbuster. Hugely tropical on the nose and the palate. Again - it’s all about balance. Super rich but the acidity is perfect. I could glug this all day. (971 views) | | | Tasted by rozencratz on 12/19/2019 & rated 95 points: Nearly flawless Chardonnay (792 views) | | | Tasted by air guitar & pinot noir on 4/19/2019 & rated 93 points: I thought this was an exceptional Chardonnay. It started off a bit tight, but quickly unfolded to present nice oak accents against lovely and pure fruit. Stone fruit and some apple notes predominate. Just perfect ripeness and definitely left me wanting for the next taste. Good level of acidity that carried throughout. (1061 views) | | | Tasted by MAXIMUM SATISFACTION on 5/28/2018 & rated 93 points: Stylistically similar to the Ellen Lane. Tart lemon eventually softens adding elements of marzipan, creamy stone fruit, caramel and toasted oak. Acidic and structured but needing 1-2 more years to mellow/soften.

| Paul Hobbs 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 County |
